“We’ve been busy building a powerhouse roster of races and concert performances for 2017, and we’re not done yet,” said Rod Woodruff, President of the Sturgis Buffalo Chip. “In addition to penning some of the biggest earworms of the last couple of decades, Blink-182 will do whatever it takes to get your attention and keep you entertained. The same goes for Friday night’s seasoned heavy metal band Alter Bridge. Tuesday has turned into Southern rock night featuring Lynyrd Skynyrd and the very talented Blackberry Smoke.”
Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, the illustrious Lynyrd Skynyrd will be bringing “Free Bird” home to the Chip. The chart-topping band has traditionally been wildly popular with Chip fans. Opening for Skynyrd, Blackberry Smoke has several serious notches on their belt. Working their way up the charts over the past several years, the band has had two no. 1 hits on the US Billboard charts in the past two years. Their performances promise to make Tuesday, Aug. 8 one for the party memory book. Blink-182 has been cranking out top-notch music for 25 years and has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide. Their crazy on-stage antics and off-the-wall music videos have earned them a reputation as exceptional entertainers. The band also has a new album on the horizon. Supergroup Alter Bridge formed after the dissolution of Creed when three of the band’s members joined up with Myles Kennedy, one of the top metal guitarists of all time.
