Stone Temple Pilots planning Idaho Center Amphitheater show

Submitted by Michael Deeds on Fri, 07/18/2008 - 4:11pm.

One thing we’ve been missing this summer is the Big Outdoor Rawk Show, but it looks like Stone Temple Pilots are about to oblige. The alternative-rock group, which reunited after frontman Scott Weiland’s ill-fated stint in Velvet Revolver, has its eye set on the Idaho Center Amphitheater in Nampa.

Idaho Center management is holding Sept. 3-7 for a Stone Temple Pilots concert. No contract is signed, but all signs indicate it's going to happen. Expect the deal to get finalized soon with tickets going on sale in early August. There’s a slight chance the show could be inside the arena, but, at this point, it’s being targeted outdoors.

OK, STP fan, time to start praying that Weiland holds off till mid-September before he wakes up in jail. (Just kidding. Not really.)
