Theory of a Deadman - Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2024

When you join the frenzied hordes of hard rock-addicted Chip fanatics in a unified head-banging mass of unbridled energy on Wednesday, Aug. 7, you’ll know it’s no theory that the Sturgis Buffalo Chip is the Best Party Anywhere.

Kid Rock - Thursday, Aug. 8, 2024

Freedom is bigger than the economy. It's bigger than the news. It’s our birthright as Americans, and it’s what our military fights to preserve every day. For 34 years, The Chip has been home to Freedom Celebration, and this year’s event will feature none other than freedom-loving, fire-spitting, over-the-top, American badass Kid Rock! Crank your party up to eleven and lose your mind to the tight rhymes, magnetic party anthems, and down-home Americana crossover stylings to celebrate being BORN FREE!
