Rock musician Bret Michaels, alongside special guests Dee Snider and Dokken, will take the Grandstand Stage at the Illinois State Fair in August.
The performance will also include a special appearance by George Lynch, organizers announced Thursday.
“I am without a doubt fired up and ready to bring an insane party and night of real, live good music combined with the great outdoors,” Michaels said in a statement. “It has been too long since live shows were a thing. We are bringing the big show back on the road and make that connection with three generations of amazing friends and fans whom I am sure are ready to party just as much as I am.”
Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. on July 8 through Ticketmaster, but will also be available to purchase in person at the Grandstand Ticket Office Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
