If someone says to you “it’s been a while” and you automatically sing “since I could hold my head up high” in your head, then you are especially going to want to tune in to see what Multi-platinum rock band Staind and Danny Wimmer Presents have announced!

STAIND will be releasing their first album in nine years, Live: It’s Been Awhile, May 7 via Yap’em / Alchemy Recordings. Pre-order the album HERE. 

The Live: It’s Been Awhile album will be accompanied by The Return Of Staind: A Two-Part Global Streaming  Series in partnership with Danny Wimmer Presents. The series launches with STAIND’s Live: It’s Been Awhile  (From Foxwoods) concert, which streams globally on May 1. The Live: It’s Been Awhile album and concert were recorded at the band’s comeback show at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT in October 2019. The never-before-seen concert celebrates the band’s reunion after a five-year hiatus. 

“These were the first grouping of shows we played together in 2019 when we were gearing up for what was to be a very busy 2020…that never happened,” says STAIND lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, Aaron Lewis. “I’m  glad we captured that energy here and can share it with those who couldn’t be at Foxwoods.” 

STAIND will also be performing their iconic multi-platinum 2001 album Break The Cycle in its entirety for a May 8 streaming event, exactly 20 years after the album’s release. The 20th Anniversary Of Break The Cycle,  Performed In Its Entirety takes place at Mill 1 in Open Square in Holyoke, Massachusetts, bringing the band back to their Western Mass roots. Please note, this is a fully virtual event, with no in-person attendance. 

“Our first show together in 1995 was at a now-defunct bar called the Waterfront in Holyoke,” says Aaron. “We played mostly covers because that’s what you had to do back then. Turns out The Waterfront is two miles from where we did this. Here we are, two miles down the road, 26 years later, celebrating the anniversary of the  album that helped us breakthrough 20 years ago and altered our lives forever.” 

Both global streaming events debut at 2:00 PM PDT / 5:00 PM EDT / 10:00 PM BST / 11:00 PM CEST on their  respective days and will be available on-demand for 72 hours. Watch the official trailer for The Return Of Staind:  A Two-Part Global Streaming Series here:

Purchase tickets for one or both of the STAIND global streaming events at StaindLive.com. Fans can also purchase bundles and VIP experiences, including exclusive merchandise, a custom STAIND guitar autographed by the entire band, and a virtual meet & greet with the band.  

After a five-year hiatus, STAIND roared back on the scene in 2019 with a series of electrifying live performances,  including DWP’s Louder Than Life and Aftershock festivals.  

“Break The Cycle was huge – in 2001 it debuted at #1 with over 700,000 copies sold in its first week – but it’s more than just a hit record. It’s a defining moment for the genre, the way it flows from beauty to heaviness – and Aaron Lewis was the perfect instrument for those melodies, those lyrics. Nobody in the genre could match the dynamics of Aaron’s voice,” says Danny Wimmer, founder of Danny Wimmer Presents. “When Staind came back in 2019, they sounded as good as ever, and the fan demand for what the band had planned for 2020 was through the roof. Now in 2021, there’s no way we were going to miss this opportunity to celebrate 20 years of  such a pivotal record and carry that momentum into the next era of Staind.” 

In 2020, Danny Wimmer Presents entered the digital content curation space, promoting pay-per-view live streams and creating the popular digital series Offstage with DWP. DWP is known worldwide for its stellar portfolio of music and lifestyle events, which includes Aftershock, Bourbon & Beyond, Epicenter, Hometown  Rising, Louder Than Life, Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival, and Welcome To Rockville.
