It looks like Tampa Bay will get a triple dose of Aaron Lewis in 2024, because his band Staind is headlining the annual 98 Rockfest (stylized “98ROCKFEST “)at Tampa’s Amalie Arena on Friday, April 19.

Tickets to see 98ROCKFEST with Staind, Seether, Asking Alexandria, Dayseeker, Ayron Jones and more go on sale on Thursday, Oct. 26, and start at $35.

While we won’t be shocked if Lewis gets away with any of his normal conspiracy theory-driven banter in between songs—heavily present at his solo gigs—he’ll most likely mainly focus on Staind’s new album Confessions Of The Fallen.

South African rock outfit Seether—which fills the show’s second to last slot—recently reissued its debut album Disclaimer, throwing in an unreleased live show from that tour, and a few B-sides. And Asking Alexandria—a Dubai-based metal quintet also on the heels of a new album—hasn’t been to Tampa Bay since a 2016 gig at The Ritz Ybor.
