Bryan Adams was born in 1959 and would go on to become one of Canada’s greatest musical exports. He got into the music game early, becoming a background vocalist for the Canadian Broadcasting Company in his teens; outside of the CBC, he started gaining a strong reputation as a backup singer for local musicians, including Robbie King. His career in the spotlight started in 1976, when he joined the band Sweeney Todd, previously charted in Canada with single “Roxy Roller.” In 1980, Adams officially went solo with his self-titled debut, which featured a number of glam- and New Wave-flavored tracks, including Canadian charting single “Hidin’ from Love.” Moving forward, Adams would team up with producer Bob Clearmountain, who around that time also worked on albums for The Rolling Stones, Roxy Music, David Bowie, and Bruce Springsteen. As a result, 1981’s spirited ‘You Want It, You Got It’ had a clearer, more focused sound; single “Lonely Nights” peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and Adams’ fate was sealed.
With Special Guest
Dave Stewart
That they are still roaring and soaring should be no surprise. That’s just how they are built. TESLA may have been born in the mid 80s, but their bluesy, soulful sound is strongly embedded in the roots of organic, authentic, 1970s rock and roll. The same roots that produced bands like The Allman Brothers, Grand Funk Railroad, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Aerosmith.

John Mellencamp in Concert
John Mellencamp has been bringing his brand of American heartland rock to fans since the late ’70s, when his raw, rootsy sound set him apart from the arena rockers in vogue at the time. The Midwestern twang that adds to his signature vocal style also informs his songs, as he details the ups and downs of the everyday working folks he grew up among. The rough-and-ready roots-rock sound he perfected on milestone ’80s albums like ‘American Fool’ and ‘Scarecrow’ has remained a crucial touchstone for Mellencamp’s concerts, regardless of where he falls in the roots–rock spectrum at any given phase. And when he delivers classics like “Jack & Diane,” “Pink Houses,” “Small Town,” or “Hurts So Good,” he digs deep for a gritty, from-the-gut delivery that connects with his audiences in an immediate, visceral way. From his 2017 Sad Clowns and Hillbillies tour with guests Emmylou Harris and Carlene Carter to his 2018 Other People’s Stuff tour, Mellencamp’s latter-day outings have shown that the veteran road dog only gets tougher and more determined.
As the original legends of arena rock, few bands in existence put on a show quite like Journey. Anchored by singer Arnel Pineda’s thrilling vocals and Neal Schon’s unstoppable guitars, the band continues to show fans, both old and new, exactly how it’s done as they tear through marathon sets of classics like “Don’t Stop Believin'” and “Open Arms.”
After a short break from their relentless tour schedule, they’re primed to blow minds again in 2014, pairing up with Steve Miller Band for select dates that are sure to be the stuff of classic rock legend for years to come.
Special Guest Toto
They say fashion is cyclical… and they’re right. Truly amazing things never go out of style, regardless of when they first popped up. Toto’s tune ‘Africa’ is one of these things. First heard in 1982, this masterpiece of popular prog has been a staple of pop culture since release. Taken from their massive second album Toto IV, it combined their other calling card Rosanna to introduce Toto to a massive audience. That record would go on to win several Grammy Awards and establish a base from which the band grew into one of the most prolific and durable acts in modern music history. Musically mind blowing and with more hits that you can poke a stick at, there’s no doubt that people will ask “where were you when Toto played Festival Hall?” for years to come.
Bruce Springsteen’s recording career spans over 40 years, beginning with 1973’s ‘Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ’ (Columbia Records). He has released 18 studio albums, garnered 20 Grammys, won an Oscar, been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, received a Kennedy Center Honor, and was MusiCares’ 2013 Person of the Year. Springsteen’s memoir ‘Born to Run’ (Simon & Schuster) and its companion album ‘Chapter and Verse’ were released in September 2016, and he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in November last year.
Springsteen’s The River Tour 2016 was named the year’s top global tour by both Billboard and Pollstar. ‘Born to Run’ will be issued in paperback by Simon & Schuster this September.

In the 1970s, Sammy Hagar made his first appearance in the American rock and roll scene with the band Montrose. Hagar’s success began in the mid 1970s with his solo career, which spawned some of his most well-known singles, like “Red” and “I Can’t Drive 55.” His solo career would lead to him become the replacement lead vocalist in the band Van Halen after David Lee Roth parted ways with with them in 1985. Hagar stayed in this role for the next 10 years and released singles, like “Runaround” and “Poundcake.” Hagar is known throughout the past three decades as a Rock and Roll icon, giving ticket buyers a blast from the past, as well as a look into the present during his concerts.

The rock and roll powerhouse continually tours, and as Van Zant shares, “It’s about the legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and what it stands for, what the fans are all about. There’s nothing like getting out there playing a great show with Skynyrd and seeing people love this music.” Adds Rossington, “We’re still standing, Still keeping the music going.
We wanted to do the guys who aren’t with us any more proud, and keep the name proud, too.”
With a catalog of over 60 albums, billions of streams, and tens of millions of records sold, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd remain a cultural icon that appeal to all generations.
