8-Act Rock Fest Takes Place at Savage Arena on March 19
University of Toledo Associate Athletic Director Tony Zaworski has announced two changes to the ROCK THE ARENA festival at Savage Arena on March 19; L.A. Guns is no longer available for the show but multiplatinum band Dokken has been added to the bill. The Grammy-nominated Dokken is best known for songs such as “Burning Like A Flame,” “In My Dreams,” and “Alone Again.”
“Due to circumstances beyond our control, L.A. Guns will not be performing on March 19; however, we are thrilled to have Dokken in the lineup,” Zaworski said. “We can’t really say Dokken is ‘stepping in for L.A. Guns’ because, with over 10 million albums sold, they are on a different level. Having Dokken on the bill adds value for the fans.”
“We appreciate how great Don (Dokken) has been, even agreeing to play an early slot than normal to accommodate other bands’ travel schedules, which were already set.”
ROCK THE ARENA will kick off the SAVAGE LIVE concert series, a multi-event concert series recently announced by The University of Toledo Athletic Department.
The all-day music fest will be headlined by Bret Michaels, best known as the frontman for Poison as well as for his “Rock of Love” reality show, winning “Celebrity Apprentice,” and an extensive solo career. The lineup also includes RATT, Warrant, Winger, Dokken, Lita Ford, Firehouse, and Trixter.
ROCK THE ARENA takes place Saturday, March 19 at John F. Savage Arena, located on The University of Toledo campus at 2025 North Douglas Road in Toledo, Ohio. Doors open at 12:30 and music begins at 1:30.
Tickets starting at $35.50 are on sale at UTROCKETS.com or through the UT Ticket Office at Savage Arena. Currently, only single tickets for the event remain available to the public; however, limited University holds will be released on January 21 and February 5.
