Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, Nickelback and Shinedown have been announced as the headliners of the inaugural Boardwalk Rock Festival next year – buy tickets here.
The festival – organised by C3 Presents, which is owned by Live Nation and looks after festivals including Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits – will take place in Ocean City, Maryland on May 17 and 18.
It’s set to feature some of the biggest names, past and present, in rock. Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe have over 90 years of experience in music between them, while Nickelback and Shinedown have found consistent success over the past 20 years.
Also on the bill are shock rock legend Alice Cooper, Pennsylvania rockers Halestorm and British grunge icons Bush, joined by the likes of Chevelle, Three Days Grace, Flyleaf with Lacey Sturm, Puddle of Mudd, 3 Doors Down, Extreme, The Struts and Black Stone Cherry.
Festivalgoers can expect three stages, with two on the beach and one on the Ocean City boardwalk, as well as access to the boardwalk’s restaurants, bars, shops, and amusement park.
Tickets begin at $165 for one-day passes, while weekend tickets start at $195. For $3,950, there’s an ‘Ultimate’ pass with premium perks including front-of-stage access, golf cart transportation, and exclusive lounges.
Presale registration opens tomorrow (December 13) at 10am ET, with general ticket sales beginning an hour later at 11am. You can sign up for the presale passcode here and buy tickets here.
Shortly before their Boardwalk Rock headline slot, Mötley Crüe will be enjoying a Las Vegas residency. The band announced this autumn that they’d be playing 11 shows at Dolby Live at Park MGM in the spring, 11 years since their last Vegas residency.
The shows will take concertgoers back through their history, leading them through to ‘The Stadium Tour’, which they co-headlined with their fellow Boardwalk Rock headliners Def Leppard.
Meanwhile, Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott features on Ricky Warwick’s recent Christmas single, ‘All I Want For Christmas… Is Christmas!’ alongside The Cult’s Billy Duffy.
