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.<ref name="mtvlegacy" /> 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]] in 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]].

After taking a short break to allow Weiland to support his second solo album, ''[["Happy" in Galoshes]]'', the band began producing their sixth studio album in mid-2009. The band also went on the road for a 13-date North American summer tour in 2009, taking place in-between the tours for Weiland's second solo album.<ref name="blabbermouth2009">{{cite news |url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=120929 |title=Stone Temple Pilots Working With Producer DON WAS – May 28, 2009 |work=Blabbermouth.net |access-date=January 22, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606050928/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=120929 |archive-date=June 6, 2011  }}</ref> The band showcased new material at [[South by Southwest]] in 2010,<ref name="blabbermouthrelease">{{cite web|url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=135479|title=Stone Temple Pilots Completes Mastering New Album|date=February 20, 2010|work=Blabbermouth.net|publisher=Roadrunner Records|access-date=February 21, 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606064213/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=135479|archive-date=June 6, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2010/03/19/stone-temple-pilots-debut-songs-rock-with-robby-krieger-at-sxsw/ |title=Music News, Videos, Photos, Artists, Playlists and More |magazine=Rolling Stone |access-date=October 15, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100324164017/http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2010/03/19/stone-temple-pilots-debut-songs-rock-with-robby-krieger-at-sxsw/ |archive-date=March 24, 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and also appeared at England's [[Download festival#Download 2010|Download Festival 2010]] in June,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=52380 |title=First Bands Confirmed For Download Festival 2010 |date=January 25, 2010 |website=Metalunderground.com |access-date=January 25, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/download/2010/ |title=Download Festive '10 lineup |website=efestivals.co.uk |access-date=January 25, 2010 |archive-date=January 23, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100123164151/http://www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/download/2010/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> as well as at the [[Hurricane Festival]] and [[Southside Festival]] in Germany.<ref>[http://grungereport.net/2010/02/13/stone-temple-pilots-announce-german-shows/] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120227155312/http://grungereport.net/2010/02/13/stone-temple-pilots-announce-german-shows/|date=February 27, 2012}}</ref> The band appeared on the ''[[Late Show with David Letterman]]'' for the first time in ten years on May 19, performing the song "[[Between the Lines (Stone Temple Pilots song)|Between the Lines]]".
