The legendary party brought out the very best in the performers, and the Chip’s photographers were there to capture the amazing concert photos that prove it. Transport yourself back to 32 of the festival’s most memorable musical moments here:
Five Finger Death Punch are head honchos of the heavy metal world. When they rocked the Chip in August 2015, they were weeks away from releasing their new album, “Got Your Six,” as well as embarking on a world tour. After signing the Epiphone Les Paul being given away in the Buffalo Chip’s Rock The Holidays Sweepstakes, bassist Chris Kael and lead guitarist Jason Hook sat down with Sturgis Rider® TV host Jersey Steve to talk turkey on everything from bikes and bizarre band stories to Japanese nuclear warheads to their support of veterans and active duty military personnel. Watch and find out why the whole world is going the Way of the Fist.
Brantley Gilbert has been one of country-rock’s hottest acts for the last several years. As a bona fide southern boy and motorcycle enthusiast, he knows a thing or two about how to throw a crazy party. When he stopped by Studio 14 to chat with comedian Chris Trew, they came up with some ideas that would set the Sturgis Buffalo Chip® on fire and create total mayhem. What were these outrageous ideas? Watch to find out for yourself.
