DEEN September 09, 2026

Staind has officially kicked off their 25th anniversary tour celebrating their landmark 2001 album, Break the Cycle. The North American tour launched on Tuesday, September 8, at the Cellairis Amphitheatre at Lakewood in Atlanta, featuring direct support from Seether alongside Hoobastank and Hinder.

While the tour honors the 7x platinum record that spent three weeks at No. 1, the opening performance confirmed Staind is not playing the album in full sequence. Instead, the group delivered a heavy selection of nine album tracks alongside classic hits and rare setlist returns.

Staind's opening night set incorporated nine of the 13 tracks from Break the Cycle, leaving out "Change," "Can't Believe," "Epiphany," and "Waste." The show marked the live debut of "Raining Again" from 2008's The Illusion of Progress, as well as the return of "Everything Changes" for the first time since 2009 and "Believe" for the first time since 2011.
