Steel Panther takes the Buffalo Chip stage for the first time on Aug. 5 prior to a performance from Koe Wetzel. Pop Evil returns to the Sturgis Buffalo Chip on Aug. 10 to perform between The Death Wire Daredevil Spectacular and Def Leppard.
Sturgis, SD (May 17, 2023): The Largest Music Festival in Motorcycling® adds two more good-time bands to turn up the 83rd Sturgis Rally to eleven. The premier party band of ‘80s metal debauchery, Steel Panther, bring the leopard print and high energy to the Wolfman Jack Stage on Aug. 5, and modern rock superstars and rally favorite Pop Evil return to the Sturgis Buffalo Chip Thursday, Aug. 10. See the Buffalo Chip band lineup so far at BuffaloChip.com/BANDS.
“There might be over 75 days till you kick off the rally, but we’ve got the party ready to go!” said Rod Woodruff, President of the Sturgis Buffalo Chip. “Pop Evil and Steel Panther both have a contagious way of setting a fun mood.”
Steel Panther
Aug. 5
Wild, wacky and thoroughly entertaining, Steel Panther’s satire of the arena-sized hair, sound and debauchery of the Sunset Strip hard rock bands of yesteryear can be hard to take serious. Their ability to absolutely shred, however, is no joke. Steel Panther has established themselves as the world’s premier party band, melding hard rock virtuosity with parody and criminally good looks. This global phenomenon takes the Wolfman Jack Stage for the first time prior to a performance from Koe Wetzel on Aug. 5.
Pop Evil
Aug. 10
Sound the alarms! You’re about to wake up for a night of hard-hitting rock jams when Chip fan favorites Pop Evil wake the lions of The Best Party Anywhere on Friday, Aug. 10 following the Death Wire Daredevil Spectacular and prior to a performance from Def Leppard.
World-class entertainment is just part of what the Sturgis Buffalo Chip will present again for 2023.
