SUMMARY:POSTPONED - VANDENBERG: “MY WHITESNAKE YEARS” WITH CO-HEADLINERS MARCO MENDOZA AND VINNIE MOORE - An Evening of Whitesnake\, Thin Lizzy\, UFO\, Ted Nugent and More!
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED.  A RESCHEDULED DATE WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON! \nVANDENBERG: One of the finest six-stringers on the planet\, Adrian Vandenberg is arguably also one of the most underrated. By the mid-’70s\, Adrian Vandenberg was already forging his own path. In 1976\, at just 22 years old and while still an art student at the Academy of Arts\, he formed his first rock band\, Teaser\, releasing a self-titled debut the following year. Relentless touring across the Benelux and Germany helped shape the foundation of a career that was quickly gathering momentum. That momentum became unmistakable in 1981 with the formation of Vandenberg. Signed to Atlantic Records\, the band achieved international recognition with their self-titled debut\, driven by the enduring rock ballad “Burning Heart\,” which reached No. 39 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Follow-up albums Heading for a Storm (1983) and Alibi (1985) further elevated the band’s profile\, while major tours alongside Ozzy Osbourne\, Rush\, and KISS established Vandenberg as a formidable live act. A gifted visual artist as well as a guitarist\, Adrian painted the band’s album artwork himself\, leaving a distinctive visual signature on the era. \nMARCO MENDOZA: In the world of bass guitar there is not much Marco can’t do or hasn’t done. He has recorded and toured with some of the biggest names in the rock and music such as Blue Murder\, John Sykes\, David Coverdale\, Whitesnake\, Thin Lizzy\, Ted Nugent\, Lynch Mob\, Neal Schon\, Dolores O’Riordan of the Cranberries\, and The Dead Daisies. The list literally goes on and on! Marco is a dynamic live performer who is equally at home at a huge stadium as a small jazz club. He can cover just about any musical style from jazz\, fusion\, world music\, Latin groove to all out hard rock.  \nVINNIE MOORE: Once Vinnie Moore picked up his first guitar (a Kay) at the age of 12\, he became\, as he describes it\, a “guitar freak.” His earliest influences included – among others – Jeff Beck\, The Beatles\, Led Zeppelin\, Deep Purple\, and Queen. As a performer\, Vinnie Moore’s resume is impressive. A member of Alice Cooper‘s band\, he toured the U.S. on the Operation Rock’N’Roll tour and also performed on Alice’s album Hey Stoopid. Vinnie’s own band has toured extensively as a headliner and also was chosen as opening act for legendary rockers Rush on the Northeast leg of their Roll The Bones Tour. Vinnie also toured Japan as a member of the T.M. Stevens’ band\, which included Bernie Worrell (Parliament Funkadelic) on keyboards\, Wil Calhoun (Living Color) on drums\, and Al Pitrelli (Megadeth) on guitar. In 2003\, Vinnie joined the legendary group UFO (Phil Mogg\, vocals; Pete Way\, bass; Jason Bonham\, drums; Paul Raymond\, keyboards).

SUMMARY:LA GUNS with SPECIAL GUEST SAIGON KICK (30th ANNIVERSARY SHOW)
DESCRIPTION:Since their self-titled debut in 1988 to the widely praised comeback albums “The Missing Peace” and “The Devil You Know”\, L.A. GUNS\, led by Tracii Guns and Phil Lewis have always delivered solid rock ‘n roll to their fans. A must hear and listen for all fans of the band\, both new and old. L.A. Guns never looked like the pretty poster boys that so many of their peers did\, but more the band that you would be terrified to bump into in an alley as they would likely be carrying switchblades and ready for a fight. But despite having many songs to back up that image\, the band could also write powerful ballads (see the smash hit\, “The Ballad Of Jayne” for Exhibit A of this argument) that showed there were some serious songwriting chops in the band. Other top hits include “Never Enough\,” “Electric Gypsy\,” “Over The Edge” and more! \n\n\nSaigon Kick featuring Jason Bieler\, Phil Varone\, and Stephen Gibb joins L.A. Guns at the Arcada Theatre for a special night celebrating the band’s eclectic catalog\, from melodic hard rock favorites to deep cuts and fan staples. A rare appearance from one of rock’s most distinctive and unpredictable bands.\n\n\nBuy Now

SUMMARY:TED NUGENT with SPECIAL GUEST KURT DEIMER
DESCRIPTION:Ted Nugent started “beating on my first guitar” around the age of five. Strongly influenced by Chuck Berry and Bo Diddly\, he knew he wanted to pursue that type of sound and attitude. Early bands paved the way for the Amboy Dukes\, and it was a feisty cover of the Dukes’ psychedelic Journey to the Center of the Mind that kicked Young Ted’s career into hyper drive. The axe maniac broke out as a solo artist\, signing with the legendary Epic Records\, where the guitarist’s prodigious talent\, earshattering volume and over-the-top stage antics quickly earned him the moniker of Motor City Madman. Cranking out hits like Cat Scratch Fever\, Just What the Doctor Ordered\, Free for All and the iconic Stranglehold\, Nugent garnered international acclaim earned a permanent place in rock & roll history as the ultimate guitar-shredding showman\, selling more than 40 million albums and performing over 6\,900 high-octane live shows. Ted Nugent has been named Detroit’s Greatest Guitar Player of All Time by readers of MLive. \nRising rock musician\, actor\, songwriter\, and film producer Kurt Deimer is launching a thrilling new chapter in 2026. He’s got his ambitious second LP\, A Grog Is Born\, which touches on everything from bruising hard rock to epic balladry\, dropping May 8; his standout character The Grog in the upcoming Paul Boyd film Scared to Death (out March 13); and the expanded universe of videos\, songs\, and live events that ties all of these wild projects together. A Grog Is Born – featuring the Top 40 Active Rock radio single “In Deep” featuring Buckcherry frontman Josh Todd – was produced by five-time GRAMMY-winning producer Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day\, Breaking Benjamin)\, who also produced Deimer’s first official solo debut\, And So It Begins… (2025)\, and features contributions from Bon Jovi guitarist Phil X. A Grog Is Born is a more expansive and cinematic collection that overtly connectsDeimer The Singer and Deimer The Horror Star under the Grog moniker. The new 12-track album\, available via his own Bald Man Records\, finds Deimer taking a major leap as a vocalist and bandleader\, stretching out his instrument beyond distinctively low speak-singing into a more robust melodic style. His more confident and colorful delivery\, elevated by years on the road—including a run opening for rock giants Buckcherry and Steel Panther as well as tours with Sebastian Bach\, Tesla\, and Drowning Pool—allowed him to explore an even more impressive range of styles. Deimer flexes his creepiest muscles on his newest single “Scared to Death\,” a haunted-house rocker that also appears in Boyd’s upcoming irreverent horror comedy of the same name. “Scared to Death” is where all things Deimer converge. But A Grog Is Born never lingers in one space for too long – it has\, as he puts it\, plenty of fascinating “twists and turns.” One of its centerpiece moments is a gorgeous reinvention of Queensryche’s 1990 prog-metal anthem “Silent Lucidity\,” featuring guest vocals from that band’s Geoff Tate. A Grog Is Born also shows Deimer’s progression as an all-around multi-talent. The music\, the movies\, the videos – it’s now all intertwined\, with much more on the horizon. This is the moment of connectivity\, both literally and figuratively\, that Deimer has been waiting for. \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:GREAT WHITE // SLAUGHTER
DESCRIPTION:For Great White to continue to thrive 40 years in the music business\, the mantra must be\, these songs are bigger than any one member. GRAMMY nominated hard rock legends\, Great White\, are adding onto that line with the saying: expect the unexpected. It’s rock and roll\, baby. The peaks and the valleys haven’t stopped– nor has the music. Great White’s ride runs deep and its passion for the music goes beyond any depth. To experience their hits live in concert – “Rock Me\,” “Mista Bone\,” “Save Your Love\,” “House of Broken Love\,” and “Lady Red Light”—is to ride an emotional wave of sultry connections\, arousing lyrics\, and an all-out marathon of hard-hitting orchestrations. Audiences might also hear tracks like “Stick It”\, “The Angel Song”\, “Big Time” or one of the many deep cuts from Great White’s 13 studio albums. \n1990 SLAUGHTER hit radio\, MTV and the U.S. touring circuit like a tornado- coming seemingly out of nowhere to roll through everything in its path and turn it upside down. Touring the world with bands that they loved\, Kiss\, Ozzy\, and others meant the good times were just a song away\, and their first hit single\, “Up All Night” certainly fit into that mold\, their second chart-topper\, “Fly To The Angels” was more representative of the spirituality and awareness that goes into most of the band’s music and lyrics. But never were SLAUGHTER more accurately represented that live onstage in front of their legions of devoted fans over the last ten years! SLAUGHTER has shown that with perseverance and sheer talent\, a band can survive and win over the support of fans\, regardless of what others may say about the quality of their music. What’s most important is that their music is still here and the vast majority of critics who panned them in the past are not\, and that’s as good as gold. \n\nBuy Now

SUMMARY:SEBASTIAN BACH: THE PARTY NEVER ENDS TOUR 2026 with SPECIAL GUESTS BLAZE FRANCISCO and STITCHED UP HEART
DESCRIPTION:With an inimitable presence as loud as his instantly identifiable voice\, SEBASTIAN BACH has left a San Andreas Fault-size imprint on music\, theater\, film\, television\, and culture. Moreover\, his influence only continues to magnify. He has penned and voiced some of the most iconic anthems in rock history\, crafting a catalog highlighted by generational hits such as “18 and Life\,” “I Remember You\,” “Youth Gone Wild\,” “Slave To The Grind\,” “Wasted Time\,” and “Monkey Business\,” to name a few. He has made history as “the first heavy metal singer on Broadway” with a now legendary turn in Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical in addition to leading roles in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Jesus Christ Superstar. He has appeared in dozens of television series and films\, ranging from “Trailer Park Boys” and “Robot Chicken” to “Spongebob Squarepants\,” “The Masked Singer\,” and “Hell’s Kitchen.” Speaking to his versatility\, he’s the rare force of nature who can duet with Axl Rose and reprise a seven-season recurring role on “Gilmore Girls.” On the heels of BACH’s show-stopping appearances as “Tiki” on Fox’s “The Masked Singer\,” which earned him a spot as a Group B Finalist in December 2023\, he released a new single “What Do I Got To Lose?” SEBASTIAN was back on TV in early 2024 when he appeared on Food Network’s “Worst Cooks in America Celebrity Edition: Heroes vs.\,  Villains.” \nStitched Up Heart is an LA-based hard rock band known for blending heavy riffs with anthemic\, hopeful\, and introspective lyrics\, creating a sound sometimes called “alt-metal.” with key members including Alecia “Mixi” Demner (vocals)\, James Decker (drums)\, Merritt Goodwin (guitar)\, and Randy Mathias (bass). The band\, signed to Another Century Records\, released albums like Never Alone (2016)\, Darkness (2019)\, and To the Wolves (2023)\, featuring collaborations like “Lost” with Sully Erna\, and they continue to tour and advocate for women in rock. \nBlaze Francisco has quickly gained momentum in the alternative rock world\, playing with touring names like The Red JumpsuIt Apparatus\, Alien Ant Farm\, Orgy\, Jakob Nowell of Sublime\, The Sweet\, Mickey Avalon and The Meteors (coming up on March 7th\, 2024 at Whisky a Go Go). With influences ranging from Queens of the Stone Age\, The Hives\, Turnstile\, Nine Inch Nails\, Tame Impala\, Rage Against the Machine\, Arctic Monkeys and Rob Zombie\, Blaze Francisco pioneers a new sound in rock and roll\, that pays homage to so many artists we all know and love. Their new single\, The Reaper\, was released on February 23rd\, 2024 and their first full length record will be out later in the year coupled with a headlining show at The Whisky a Go Go. Already cementing their name is the Los Angeles rock scene\, Blaze Francisco promises to give the world a sound and a message that they never knew they needed. \nBuy Now
