Minus frontman Scott Weiland, who died in 2015, the Stone Temple Pilots will perform at the Sudbury Arena on Nov. 6.

Joining them will be Seether and Default. Tickets range from $77 to $92 and are available from the Sudbury Arena box office.

STP originally included lead singer/songwriter Weiland, bassist Robert DeLeo, drummer Eric Kretz and guitarist Dean DeLeo. A band bio says after developing a fan base by playing regularly in the San Diego area, they changed their name from Swing and Mighty Joe Young to the Stone Temple Pilots.

The band signed with Atlantic Records in 1992, the same year their debut album “Core”  was released, which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. 

“The album claimed significant commercial success, however the band were seen by the critical press as grunge imitators, copying the revered band such as Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains,” the bio says.

Stone Temple Pilots debuted the song “Big Empty” on an episode on MTV Unplugged in 1993 in anticipation of their sophomore album “Purple” in June 1994.

Selling over three million copies in just four months, “Purple” was led by the hits “Vasoline” and “Interstate Love Song.”
