Rolling Stones: Hackney Diamonds ’24 @ The Cleveland Browns Stadium
Jun 15 @ 8:00 pm

Rock And Roll Love StickerThe Rolling Stones are one of the most influential and longest-lasting bands to cross over during the ’60s British Invasion. The group stands as one of the best-selling acts of all time with 200 million records sold worldwide, and is responsible for two of the highest-grossing tours of all time within the last two decades. Blending blues and rock, the first main lineup of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts broke out in 1965 with their first chart-topping album Out of Our Heads and back-to-back Hot 100 No. 1 singles “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” and “Get Off of My Cloud.” The group topped the Hot 100 again with 1966’s “Paint It, Black,” 1967’s “Ruby Tuesday” and 1969’s “Honky Tonk Women.” With the addition of guitarist Mick Taylor, The Rolling Stones released their second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with 1971’s Sticky Fingers, kicking off a streak of eight consecutive chart-topping debuts through 1981’s Tattoo You.

Earth, Wind & Fire and Chicago: Heart & Soul Tour 2024 @ Pine Knob Music Theatre
Jul 17 @ 7:30 pm

Earth, Wind & Fire in Concert

The word gets thrown around far too frequently these days, but in the case of Earth, Wind & Fire itEarth Wind And Fire September 21St GIF genuinely applies: This band is legendary. From the mystical elements of their name to their profound and lasting influence on contemporary pop music to their litany of hits spanning the latter decades of the 20th century, EWF have achieved status beyond the merely mortal. Even with the passing of founder and lead vocalist Maurice White in 2016 the group live on, bringing their uplifting, body-moving blend of R&B, funk, disco, pop, and jazz to several generations of fans.

 

Chicago, at first dubbed The Chicago Transit Authority, immediately stood out due to their unique, horn-driven instrumentation and top-notch songwriting, a combination that quickly found a home on  free-form FM radio in the late ’60s. After 45-plus years in business, Chicago’s music has never left the airwaves and the band remains on tour more often than not, playing concerts in every corner of North America. With a catalog of hits  including “Saturday in the Park,” “Beginnings,” “If You Leave Me Now,” “Baby What a Big Surprise,” “You’re the Inspiration,” and “Hard Habit To Break,” fans are always eager to snap up tickets to catch one of the most successful American rock bands in history.

American roots rock iconCreedence Clearwater Revival Sticker by John Fogerty Rock And Roll Fortunate Son Sticker by John FogertyJohn Fogerty  is as beloved for his solo work as he is for his time with legendary swamp rockers Creedence Clearwater Revival. Included by Rolling Stone on both their 100 Greatest Guitarist and 100 Greatest Singers lists, Fogerty continued to assert his role as an enduring figure in rock music with the 2013 release of Wrote a Song for Everyone, his ninth solo album.  Fogerty rose to success with Creedence Clearwater Revival in the late ‘60s, achieving international fame in 1969 with hit single “Proud Mary” from Bayou Country. After the release of the band’s final album in 1972, Fogerty would release a series of critically-acclaimed solo albums, including 1997’s Blue Moon Swamp and 2008’s Revival, the former of which won a Grammy for Best Rock Album. On tour in 2013, Fogerty has been treating ticket buyers to extended renditions of his greatest hits, earning rave reviews for his infectious energy.

38 SpecialAfter more than three decades together, 38 Special is still playing more than 100 shows per year.

And at every one of them, thousands of audience members are completely blindsided by the power and muscle of the band’s performance. “When we come out, people are like, ‘Whoa! It’s like a freight train rolling over them…'” says vocalist/guitarist Don Barnes.

While most associate the group with its arena-rock ’80s pop smashes, these days the band’s harder edge is what is immediately noticeable.  Barnes says it’s all about maintaining the intensity that they deliver in their live shows.

The Doobie Brothers 2024 @ Pine Knob Music Theatre
Aug 15 @ 7:00 pm

The Doobie Brothers have produced some of classic rock’s most memorable hits. From the polished yacht rock sound of “What a Fool Believes” — a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and ranked by Rolling Stone Australia as one of the greatest songs ever — to the feel-good harmonies of “Listen to the Music,” The Doobie Brothers’ more than five-decade run has made them one of the preeminent live bands to see. Since their debut album in 1971, The Doobie Brothers have won two Grammy Awards, landed eight albums in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200, been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and sold nearly 50 million albums worldwide. The band has showcased their 14 gold-album repertoire on a globetrotting 50th anniversary tour that began in 2021 with the reunited lineup of Pat Simmons, Tom Johnston, Michael McDonald and John McFee playing together for the first time in nearly 25 years.

Steve WinwoodRock icon Steve Winwood continues to inspire with his soulful voice and authentic songwriting more than half a century after his debut. At his live shows Winwood touches on every period of his long and storied career, treating fans to favorites from his time with the Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, and Blind Faith before going on to perform ’80s solo hits like “Higher Love” and “Roll With It”. A virtuoso musician who surrounds himself with one of the best backing bands in the business, Winwood never fails to do justice to do his beloved classics justice on his must-see tours.

Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper: Freaks on Parade 2024 Tour @ Pine Knob Music Theatre
Aug 30 @ 6:00 pm

Rob Zombie 1990S GIFRob Zombie has mastered all angles of shock rock’s horror theatrics as both the frontman of his own “spookshow” solo act and the writer, director and music supervisor for nightmare-fueling films like 2005’s​ The Devil’s Rejects and the 2009 remake of Halloween. Zombie broke into the New York underground scene in 1985 as the co-founder and vocalist of White Zombie. By combining a childhood obsession for classic horror movies with musical interests that ranged from industrial rock to dance music, he cemented the band as one of the most influential alternative-metal acts ever by the time they disbanded in 1998.

exclaimdotca music concert canada festivals GIFAlice Cooper Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Famer Cooper brings an all new show and very different look than recent tours. Dubbed as “Ol’ Black Eyes Is Back,” new music is expected in time for the tour, produced by his longtime collaborator Bob Ezrin. He produced 2017’s acclaimed Paranormal album, featuring friends like ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons, U2’s Larry Mullen Jr, and Deep Purple’s Roger Glover, as well as original Alice Cooper band members Neal Smith, Dennis Dunaway and Michael Bruce. Cooper’s most recent release was in 2018 with the live album A Paranormal Evening At The Olympia Paris. In addition to recording and touring both on his own and with the Hollywood Vampires (with pals Joe Perry and Johnny Depp), Cooper continues his nightly syndicated radio show “Nights With Alice Cooper,” heard worldwide on over 100 radio stations.

Al Jourgensen 80S GIFMinistry:  Legendary industrial metal outfit Ministry has been shaking fans to the core with their bone-crushing live shows for more than three decades, and their upcoming tour dates may be the final chance to see them in action. Longtime Ministry guitarist Mike Scaccia died of a heart attack in 2012, prompting frontman Al Jourgensen to declare that the band’s 2013 album From Beer to Eternity and accompanying tour would be their last. It’s a bittersweet moment for fans — they get to see the Jourgensen and company let it all hang out on their historic farewell tour dates, but it’s also the end of an era. The bland plans to honor their legacy and Scaccia’s life by doing what they do best — delivering ferocious, decibel-shattering performances packed with industrial metal classics like “Stigmata” and “Jesus Built My Hotrod”.
