Collective Soul

We are excited to announce this year’s headlining act, Collective Soul. This multi-platinum quintet has been cranking out tunes for the last thirty years. Collective Soul has charted a path that most rock bands dream of, but only a few achieve.

They cut through a noisy 1990s rock scene with a knack for stick-to-you-like-glue melodies, roof-shaking guitars, and a touch of Southern grit. Behind enduring singles like “Shine,” “December,” and “The World I Know,” the band hit the ground running for what would not be a short-lived sprint but a steady marathon of uncompromising – and always catchy – albums. Since launching, they’ve become one of America’s most reliable rock bands, a tried-and-true force worldwide.

Ed Roland can describe 30 years in Collective Soul with two words. “It’s an honor and privilege,” said the frontman and songwriter behind the Georgia-born band known for a bedrock of time-tested hits. “It’s that simple. Just being able to do what you love is an honor and a privilege.”

In 2024, the band celebrated three decades of music-making. Collective Soul returned last year with what may be its most ambitious project to date: HERE TO ETERNITY, a double LP cut in the California home once owned by Elvis Presley. With sharp, polished rock riffs and Roland’s signature wise-to-the-world storytelling HERE TO ETERNITY plays like a full-throttle Collective Soul album from the moment it begins spilling out of stereo speakers.

With new songs and years of hits, how does the band decide which to play live? “It’s tricky,” Dean Roland said. “We know we wanna play the songs people came to see, but it’s still fun. We’re gettin’ up there, doin’ our thing.”

Collective Soul continues to perform quite simply for the love of music. They’ve become one of America’s most reliable rock bands and are more focused and energized than ever. We can’t wait to see them take over the Village Green stage on March 22.
