STG Launches Summer Of Loud Festival: Beartooth, I Prevail, Killswitch Engage, Parkway Drive Lead Tour Lineup

Sound Talent Group agency has launched the Summer of Loud Festival, a new festival tour featuring a full STG lineup doing 25 U.S. dates this summer.

Topped by Bearthooth, I Prevail, Killswitch Engage, The Amity Affliction, The Devil Wears Prada and Alpha Wolf, the tour kicks off at iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida, June 21 and will rock all the way across the U.S. before wrapping July 27 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

“The hard rock community has not had a dedicated home to develop bands or to elevate headliners—specifically in a touring festival setting—for over a decade,” STG co-founder Dave Shapiro said in the announcement.  “This is a void that we all personally felt needed some attention, and over the last six years we have worked towards developing this idea into something tangible.  We are incredibly excited to bring to the world the first ever Summer of Loud Festival tour.” 

For Summer of Loud, the shows will rotate between four headliners with Beartooth, I Prevail, Killswitch Engage and Parkway Drive. The Amity Affliction and The Devil Wears Prada will rotate as direct support, while Alpha Wolf rounds out the bill. Opening acts for the tour will be TX2 (June 21 to July 2), Kingdom Of Giants (July 5-15) and Dark Divine (July 16-27).

The tour will donate $1 from each ticket sold to Living The Dream Foundation, a non-profit foundation that helps children and young adults living with life-threatening illnesses.

A Citi presale runs through Thursday at 11 pm. 

Founded by veteran talent agents Tim Borror, Dave Shapiro, and Matt Andersen in 2018, Sound Talent Group represents more than 400 artists, including Pierce The Veil, Lamb of God, Sum 41, Steve Vai and many others, with three dozen employees and offices in New York City, Nashville and San Diego.
