ARTIST LINEUP

CINDERELLA’S TOM KEIFER BAND

Tom Keifer remains a resilient, relevant force in the rock world through constant reinvention and renewal. His story begins as the singer-songwriter, guitarist, and frontman of hard-rock heavyweights Cinderella, where his signature voice, searing guitar work, and blues-driven songwriting powered more than 15 million albums sold worldwide.

Today, #keiferband — featuring Tom Keifer, Savannah Keifer, Tony Higbee, Billy Mercer, Jarred Pope, Kory Myers, and Tanya Davis — delivers an arena-ready rock show packed with all the classic Cinderella anthems fans know and love, along with favorites from Keifer’s acclaimed solo albums The Way Life Goes and Rise. Their high-octane performances continue to prove why Tom Keifer remains one of the most authentic and enduring frontmen in rock & roll.

WHITE LION

White Lion roared out of New York City in 1983, founded by charismatic Danish vocalist Mike Tramp and gifted American guitarist Vito Bratta. Blending razor-sharp musicianship with melodic hooks and thoughtful songwriting, White Lion became one of the defining acts of the late-’80s hard-rock scene.Their 1987 album Pride went double platinum, producing the chart-topping hits “Wait” (#8 Billboard Hot 100) and the powerful ballad “When the Children Cry” (#3). Known for dynamic live shows and songs that carried both emotion and edge, the band bridged the gap between pure rock energy and lyrical substance.

Mike Tramp returns to bring White Lion back to the stage with an unmistakable mix of passion, melody, and arena-sized power — a reminder of why their music continues to resonate with rock fans across generations.

STEVEN ADLER of GUNS N’ ROSES

Steven Adler, legendary drummer and founding member of Guns N’ Roses, is back behind the kit and ready to deliver the thunder. With more than 100 million records sold, Adler’s unmistakable groove helped define one of rock’s most iconic bands.

Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with Guns N’ Roses in 2012, Adler was the driving rhythm behind Appetite for Destruction — the best-selling debut album in U.S. history — as well as GN’R Lies and “Civil War” from Use Your Illusion II.

His current lineup pays explosive tribute to that groundbreaking era, performing all the classic hits including “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” “Paradise City,” “Mr. Brownstone,” and “Rocket Queen.” Adler’s live show is a full-throttle celebration of the raw, high-octane energy that made Guns N’ Roses a global phenomenon — and solidified his status as one of the most recognizable drummers in rock history.
