Mark Tremonti says Creed are here to stay

Mark Tremonti says Creed's comeback will be permanent – even if it makes managing his already stacked schedule an almost impossible task.

The guitarist was already busy enough with his self-titled Tremonti project and his work with Alter Bridge, not to mention his Mark Tremonti Sings Frank Sinatra project in support of the National Down Syndrome Society.

But with the huge success of Creed's ongoing reunion tour, he knows that schedule is only going to get even harder to manage.

He tells SiriusXM: "This is something we all hope we can just continue to do. Now we have to just do a lot of pre-planning.

"We already had to do a lot of pre-planning when it was just Alter Bridge. With me, it was Alter Bridge, Tremonti and the Sinatra band, but now Creed has become such a force in our careers, we have to just now add one more element to that balance."

Creed's tour runs through to the end of 2024, with one festival date confirmed for April of 2025. Tremonti hopes to add at least one date to bring down the curtain on the band's 2024 activity.

He adds: "I've been trying to push the guys to be able to do a New Year's show this year, because that would be a fun way to end this year out. We haven't played Vegas this whole year, for some reason, so Vegas would be perfect for New Year's for Creed.

"So I really want that to happen. And then in December, I'll be performing the Sinatra shows, doing the charitable shows in December, and then in January, I'll head off to Europe with Tremonti for two months.

"Then I'll come back home and hit the studio in March with Alter Bridge. And after that is kind of where it becomes a question mark as to do we do a short Creed run. 

"I've gotta keep pushing the Tremonti album as much as I can. That's the biggest risk I face, is the Tremonti album getting gobbled up by Creed. So it's definitely a delicate balance."
