Staind Joins U.S. Army In March 2006

New York, NY (Atlantic Records) - Staind has announced plans to perform a series of very special live dates for United States military service members. The multi-platinum band will take time out from their eagerly awaited European tour to play three concerts at U.S. Army installations in Germany.

The shows are scheduled for March 3rd at the U.S. Army Garrison, Mannheim; March 16th at the U.S. Army Garrison, Franconia; and March 17th at the U.S. Army Garrison, Baumholder. The shows at Mannheim and Franconia are part of 'Welcome Home'celebrations for troops returning from combat duty in the Persian Gulf Region. The concerts will see Staind performing tracks spanning their career - including their most recent effort, 2005's No 1-charting CHAPTER V.

These special shows are new additions to Staind's much-anticipated month-long tour of Europe. The trek, which kicked off Tuesday, February 28th in Glasgow, includes stops in England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands.

The European itinerary follows the Massachusetts-based band's recent U.S. headline tour with Theory of a Deadman and Loser. Upon their return to the States, Staind will headline the Jagermeister spring tour, set to begin in mid-April, and will also top the bill at the annual 98 ROCK Livestock Festival in Zephyr Hills, Florida, slated for April 29th.
