Aerosmith, Sammy Hagar, Big & Rich, Keith Urban, Steve Miller, Cheap Trick, Steppenwolf, Fabulous Thunderbirds, REO Speedwagon, 38 Special, Foghat, Georgia Satellites, Greg Rollie and Cross Canadian Ragweed are among the acts confirmed for the inaugural Rock’n The Rally music festival, to be held Aug. 6-10 in Sturgis, S.D., Billboard.com has learned.
The festival, to be staged around the giant Sturgis Bike Week that draws thousands to the area, is produced by Dork Fish, Inc.
Dork Fish is in the process of building an $11 million permanent amphitheatre on a 34-acre site at the Glencoe Camp Resort in Sturgis. Capacity will be as high as 60,000. “As opposed to the ‘build it and they will come’ theory, we subscribe to the ‘build it where they already are theory’,” Dork Fish production manager/site coordinator Mark Russo tells Billboard.com.
Tickets range from $40 to $70 per day and go on sale on March 10 at Starticketsplus.com.
