A Long-Awaited Reunion
This marks the first time Collective Soul and +LIVE+ have toured together since their 2008 co-headlining run, making the Summer Unity Tour a nostalgic yet fresh experience for rock fans.
+LIVE+ frontman Ed Kowalczyk expressed excitement over the reunion:
“+LIVE+ is thrilled to be joining forces with the amazing Collective Soul! The great vibes between our two bands on and offstage is something we have both enjoyed for years, and here we come in 2025! This will be a very special night of music for all the fans; I know everyone is gonna get rocked and uplifted right along with us… come on out!”
Collective Soul’s Ed Roland reminisced about their long-standing friendship:
“It was August 1994, and we, Collective Soul, were on our way to Woodstock. As our van pulled up to the grounds, another one pulled up beside us and out jumped the band +LIVE+. We became immediate friends, exchanging guitar picks with each other as soon as we met. Since that day, the Ed and Ed show has been nothing but pure, genuine friendship, and rock and roll. We’re excited that 31 years later, we still not only enjoy each other’s company, but enjoy playing music. It’s going to be a fun summer sharing it with fans, friends and +LIVE+.”
