According to Dean DeLeo , steps toward a Stone Temple Pilots reformation started with a phone call from Weiland 's wife , Mary Forsberg . She invited the DeLeo brothers to play at a private beach party , which led to the reconciliation of Weiland and the DeLeo brothers . In 2007 , Dean DeLeo and Weiland discussed a concert promoter 's offer to headline several summer festivals . Weiland subsequently left Velvet Revolver in April 2008 and the following month , Stone Temple Pilots announced they were reuniting for a 65-date North American tour . The group officially reunited for a private gig at the Houdini Mansion and held their first public show on Jimmy Kimmel Live ! on May 1 . Stone Temple Pilots toured throughout the summer and fall , headlining the Virgin Mobile Festival in Baltimore on August of that year as well as the 10th annual Voodoo Experience in New Orleans . The band 's six-month reunion tour wrapped up on Halloween 2008 in Pelham , Alabama
