Skillet Partners With Vet Tix To Get Free Concert Tickets To Veterans
22x platinum, GRAMMY-nominated rockers SKILLET are partnering with VET TIX to provide free concert tickets to veterans. Their latest digital track, “All That Matters,” off their upcoming album REVOLUTION, has resonated loudly with military families, and in support of them for every preorder of REVOLUTION placed between Sept 25th and Oct 10th, 2024, Skillet will donate one concert ticket.
Additionally, the band will grant a Hero’s Wish, where a specific event wish is granted to Active Duty Military Personnel (up to six months after their deployments), severely wounded Veterans (Purple Heart Required) or the families of men and women killed in action (KIA).
“Vet Tix is grateful for Skillet’s support of the Vet Tix mission,” remarked Vet Tix Founder, CEO, and U.S. Navy veteran, Michael A. Focareto III. “Their passion for creating music and performing live for their legions of fans, coupled with their generous donations to Vet Tix through this partnership exemplifies Skillet’s support for our veterans, military members, and their families.”
“In ‘All That Matters’ I sing, ‘myfaith, my family, my freedom, that’s what’s backin’ me and gives me a reason for living, I gotta fight for what I believe in,” says SKILLET lead singer John Cooper. “I think we’re getting such strong feedback from military families because these words are what they live day in and day out – their entire lives are about fighting for what they believe in – fighting for our country, for their families and the rest of us as Americans. We have loved playing shows at military bases, meeting these families and the brave men and women of the armed forces – I am thrilled we can partner with Vet Tix and do something to support them.”
REVOLUTION’s first single, “Unpopular,” premiered on SIRIUS XM’s OCTANE channel, is climbing the Active Rock radio chart and has received over 5M streams, and 1.5M views of its music video.
REVOLUTION is expected to only extend Skillet’s formidable legacy. As of 2024, the band have received two GRAMMY® Award nominations, picked up a Billboard Music Award, and landed three albums in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200. Selling over 22 million units worldwide with over 24 billion global streams to date, SKILLET have notched multi-platinum, platinum, or gold RIAA certifications for a total of 12 singles and four full-length albums. Their latest RIAA Gold certifications just hit this summer with the tracks “Legendary” and “Stars.” Not to mention, they have regularly attracted 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone, boasting “one of the most-streamed rock songs of all-time” with the 5x-platinum “Monster.”
Last week SKILLET kicked of a co-headline tour with another one of the best-selling rock bands of the 21st century, SEETHER. Well known as two of the rock scene’s biggest acts of the past two decades, the tour will hit 18 cities through October 20th.
After years of selling out shows across Western Europe, Australia, Japan and more SKILLET will embark on their first-ever tour of the Middle East in November. The band will be playing in Turkey, Kazakhstan, United Arab Emirates, and more. All dates are below at at Skillet.com.
