Closing out the Summer Rock set Skillet, Sevendust, Pop Evil, and Devour The Day return to Peoria, Illinois to rock out the Riverfront to a crowd from all over the Midwest. The hot August heat was kicked up a few degrees more with the nights lineup.

Big Gigantic at Bogarts

Big Gigantic played a rocking dance party at Bogarts last week. This show was all energy with a fabulous light show. Big G is another band that is gaining incredible momentum and getting placed very high up the lineup train on this year's festival circuit. Check them out this summer at one or several of the festivals they are headlining.

Scotty McCreery @ Viking Hall

 

Scotty McCreery stopped off at Viking Hall, located in Bristol, Tennessee on his Weekend Roadtrip Tour.

 

Heart @ the Biltmore Estate

Heart took a pause from their Heartbreaker tour to perform an "Evening With Heart" show at the historic Biltmore Estate, which is nestled in the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina. The show couldn't have taken place on a more perfect evening, with the sun setting during the opening songs, creating a fireworks show in the sky that nearly matched the fireworks happening on stage.

ZZ Top: La Futura Tour

ZZ Top brought their bluesy-rock sound to the Tennessee Theatre on May 21st.  They were touring on their La Futura album, which is their first album in nine years. It's hard to believe that they have been touring together for over 40 years now, but it certainly showed on this night!   The chemistry between the band was apparent and on display for all to see.  They seamlessly burned through the set list with ease and prowess.

Midwest Rock N' Roll Express Tour

The Midwest Rock N' Roll Express Tour, which began last year, has been called one of the "Ten Hottest Summer Package Tours of 2012" by Rolling Stone. The tour features Ted Nugent, Reo Speedwagon, and Styx.  The Express tour made a stop at the Roanoke Civic Center on April 28th.

Muse: The 2nd Law Tour

It may have been a bitterly cold night outside, but inside, Muse heated things up in TD Garden!  With blistering riffs and pounding bass lines, they kept the packed house on their feet and energized the whole night through.
