The band will tour extensively in 2022

Stryper has announced a slew of tour dates that will start in May 2022. The band shared the news via social media, confirming additional dates will be announced.

“We are so excited about touring again,” the band shares. “We’ll be touring heavily in 2022 and hope to see you all. What venue should we hit in your city? Here’s our first round of tour dates. More coming soon but if you live near one of these cities, grab tickets now. Love you all!”

Eleven dates have been announced as of press time, including an appearance at the M3 Rock Festival in Columbia, MD on May 8th. The Sunday performance also includes Tesla, Skid Row, Yngwie Malmsteen, Zebra, Quireboys, Leatherwolf, and Burning Witches.

The band recently completed a Kickstarter campaign to begin working on a Netflix style official documentary that dives into the Christian rockers’ 35 years together. The crowd funded campaign surpassed its goal of $200k and the band can now start creating the 90-120 minute film. Stryper promises to “go MORE IN-DEPTH, include MORE ORIGINAL MUSIC, and create the definitive, authorized film dedicated to the stories of Stryper and the best fans in the world, YOU!”

Stryper is renowned for its distinctive brand of “heavenly metal,” extraordinary crossover success and venerable endurance. The group ascended to prominence in the 1980s with Billboard Top 40 hits like “Calling on You,” “Honestly,” and “Always There for You,” and has maintained a global fanbase ever since. Stryper is the first band to ever have two songs in MTV’s Top 10 simultaneously with their hits “Free” and “Honestly.” To date, the Dove Award-winning and GRAMMY-nominated band has sold over ten million albums worldwide.

Today, some 35+ years after emerging from the southern California nightclub scene, the foursome continues to record, tour and perform for loyal fans around the world. Comprised of original members Michael Sweet (lead vocals, guitar), Robert Sweet (drums), and Oz Fox (guitar), plus the addition of seasoned bassist Perry Richardson (formerly of Firehouse), the group finds itself creating their finest, most powerful music yet.
