The 17-time platinum rock band Skillet and multi-platinum band Theory of a Deadman have announced the fall leg of their Rock Resurrection Tour that includes a stop at Memorial Coliseum on Tuesday, Dec. 5.
For Skillet, they are out in support of their 11th studio album, Dominion, which is mightily powerful, greatly melodic, and a production that is top-notch.
Theory of a Deadman are supporting their Dinosaur album which was released this year and includes the title track “Ambulance” and “Two of Us (Stuck).”
Also on the bill that evening will be Saint Asonia which features a couple of familiar musicians: Staind guitarist Mike Mushok and ex-Three Days Grace frontman Adam Gontier.
This should be one heck of a rock show, so get your tickets now!
Tickets are available by going to ticketmaster.com or stopping by the ticket office at the Coliseum.
Henry Rollins bringing tour to Piere’s
Punk rock icon, author, radio host, actor, and Grammy winner Henry Rollins will bring his Good To See You tour to Piere’s on Tuesday, Oct. 17.
Yeah, that Henry Rollins: the singer who fronted State of Alert, Black Flag, and Rollins Band. I cannot believe it either.
The spoken word tour sees Rollins recount the events of his life in the brief pre-COVID period since the last tour and when things got even stranger over the ensuing months. Rollins has spent much of the past decade on tours like this, with his last musical effort being 2004’s Weighting.
Oh man, he’s going to have plenty of stories to share that evening.
General admission seating and VIP meet and greet tickets are on sale now at letscomedyftw.com.
