In 2008, Journey introduced a new singer to the world, Arnel Pineda, with the release of their 14th studio album Revelation and an extraordinarily successful world tour. It was the latest chapter in a Rock and Roll saga that started more than thirty-five years ago and has produced some of the best-known Rock songs of the 70s and 80s.  Revelation, a three-disc CD and DVD package, was certified platinum within several months of its release.  Disc one comprises eleven re-recorded classics, disc two features eleven new songs, and disc three is a concert DVD.

Aerosmith first broke through in the mid-70s with a string of successful albums including Aerosmith and Toys In The Attic, along with Top 10 singles such as “Dream On” and “Walk This Way.”  To date the band has scored 21 Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, four Grammy Awards and ten MTV Video Music Awards. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 and in 2005 they were ranked #57 in Rolling Stone magazine’s 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

ZZ Top has been considered one of America’s most sturdy bands of the past three decades.  With their superior musicianship, attitude, style and some devilishly funny songs, they remain one of Rock’s most entertaining live acts. Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard have sold over 30 million records worldwide. The band has become internationally known for such hits as “Tush,” “La Grange,” “Cheap Sunglasses,” “Sharp Dressed Man,” “Gimme All Your Lovin’” and “Legs.”

“Can’t Stop Rockin’ Tour” takes over the Arena on July 1st

Styx began as an Art/Progressive Rock band in the early 70s and scored a hit single with “Lady” in 1975.  It wasn’t until after the release of their 1977 album, The Grand Illusion, that Styx became an arena headliner.  Some of the band’s biggest hits include “Come Sail Away,” “Renegade,” “Babe” and “Mr. Roboto.”

REO Speedwagon’s constant stream of chart-topping albums and hit singles distinguished the band’s output in the late 70s and early 80s.  Their most recent album, 2007’s Find Your Own Way Home, is their first CD of completely new material since 1996.

.38 Special formed in the mid 70s, becoming a household name with such hits as “Hold On Loosely,” “Caught Up In You” and “If I’d Been The One.”  The current lineup features guitarist and co-lead singer Don Barnes, rhythm guitarist and co-lead singer Donnie Van Zant, guitarist Danny Chauncey, bassist Larry Junstrom, keyboardist Bobby Capps and drummer Gary Moffatt.
