Stone Temple Pilots are hitting the road this summer for a cross-country tour, and one lucky winner will get a pair of tickets to the tour stop of their choice between August 10, 2024 and October 5, 2024. Everyone can enter using the AMI Music app available on iOS and Android, or on any participating AMI Jukebox.

Stone Temple Pilots (STP) emerged from the grunge and alternative rock scene of early 1990s San Diego. The band was originally composed of Scott Weiland (vocals), brothers Dean DeLeo (guitar) and Robert DeLeo (bass), and Eric Kretz (drums). They quickly gained popularity with their debut album, Core, released in 1992. The album featured hit singles such as “Plush,” “Creep,” and “Sex Type Thing,” which helped propel the band to mainstream success. STP distinguished themselves with a diverse sound that blended hard rock, psychedelic rock, and alternative elements.

Throughout the 1990s, Stone Temple Pilots continued to enjoy commercial success with subsequent albums, including Purple (1994), Tiny Music… Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop (1996), and No. 4 (1999). However, the band’s journey was marked by turbulence, particularly due to Weiland’s struggles with substance abuse, which led to multiple hiatuses and internal conflicts. Despite these challenges, the band remained a significant force in the rock scene, evolving their sound over the years. After Weiland’s departure in 2013 and his subsequent passing in 2015, STP recruited new lead singers, including Chester Bennington of Linkin Park for a brief period and later Jeff Gutt. The band has continued to record and play live, setting out this summer for festival appearances and a string of dates on their co-headlining Jubilee tour with Live and special guests Soul Asylum and Our Lady Peace.

AMI is happy to present the chance to win a pair of tickets to see STP celebrate 30 years of their album Purple, and play it live in its entirety. For a limited time, AMI jukeboxes will also be featuring a playlist of the band’s greatest hits. All fans are encouraged to check out the playlist and US residents aged 18+ may enter the giveaway using the AMI Music app or by visiting an AMI jukebox venue.

The latest contest from AMI coincides with the re-issue of Van Halen’s ninth studio album. One grand prize winner will receive For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge– the new expanded edition (2LP/2CD/blu-ray) plus a 7” singles bundle. This contest is open July 12, 2024, through July 21, 2024. Everyone 18+ can enter using the AMI Music app available on iOS and Android, or on any participating AMI Jukebox.

The 1991 album—the third with vocalist Sammy Hagar—was hailed as a return to the band’s hard rock roots and was the first that Eddie recorded without his trademark Marshall Super Lead serving as the primary amplifier. F.U.C.K. debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart, held the position for three consecutive weeks and produced seven singles including the mega-hits “Poundcake,” “Top of the World,” and “Right Now.” It was both a commercial success and a critical milestone in Van Halen’s discography, solidifying their status as one of the most influential rock bands of the late 20th century.

Despite lineup changes and occasional turbulence, Sammy Hagar’s years with the band remain a significant chapter in their history. Said Hagar: “The peak of my musical life was Van Halen.” Their music from this period continues to be celebrated by fans and showcases their enduring influence in the world of rock. For a limited time, AMI jukeboxes will also be featuring a Van Halen playlist of their biggest hits throughout the years. Everyone is encouraged to check out the playlist and US residents may enter the contest using the AMI Music app or by visiting a nearby AMI jukebox venue.

-Prize is an Autographed MIDI Keyboard

AMI’s last giveaway of 2023 offers fans the chance to win a signed MIDI keyboard from Chino Moreno’s Deftones side project, Crosses. This contest is open December 8, 2023, through December 20, 2023. Entries can be submitted on the AMI Music app available on iOS and Android, or on any participating AMI Jukebox.

Founded by music industry veterans Chino Moreno and Shaun Lopez, Crosses (often stylized as †††), is known for their unique blend of electronic and alternative rock. Their songs are characterized by haunting melodies, ethereal vocals, and an atmospheric ambiance. Moreno, who is best known as the lead vocalist of the critically acclaimed alt-metal band, Deftones, teamed up with Lopez—a musician and producer, regarded for his involvement with the post-hardcore band, Far—back in 2011, in a move that marked a significant departure from their respective previous endeavors.

Following a handful of EP releases, Crosses’ self-titled debut studio album was released in 2014 and garnered serious attention for its captivating soundscapes, combining elements of trip-hop, synth-pop, and rock. Nearly a decade later, they released their second studio effort (first with a major label), Goodnight, God Bless, I Love U, Delete. The album was recorded over a four-year period and the track “Girls Float † Boys Cry” features guest vocals from The Cure’s Robert Smith. “It’s one of those things where it sounds like a cliche, but if you would have told me this when I was 15 years old, I wouldn’t have believed you,” said Moreno in an interview with Stereogum. “So it’s definitely come full circle from me being a kid and being inspired by [Smith] and The Cure in general, for my whole life and for my whole musical life, really.”

Crosses will be heading out on their “Familiar World Tour” starting in February 2024, and AMI is proud to offer fans a chance to win a signed MIDI keyboard. For a limited time, a Crosses playlist will be available on AMI jukeboxes and the AMI Music app. All are encouraged to check the playlist and US residents may enter the contest using the AMI Music app or by visiting a nearby AMI jukebox venue.
