Classic Rock Lineup For Sturgis Motorcycle Rally This August

The 85th Sturgis Motorcycle is quickly becoming the place to be for Classic Rock fans this summer.

With Rock & Roll Hall of Famers David Lee Roth and Lynyrd Skynyrd already scheduled to hit the stage at the Buffalo Chip in August, plus an appearance by Megadeth, another big name act has been added to the lineup.

Collective Soul will make an appearance in Sturgis, Thursday, August 13th.

The band was formed in Stockbridge, Georgia in 1992 and has released 12 studio albums, with a 13th - Touch and Go - due out in April. They have landed seven albums in the Top 25 and a trio of singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including their debut single, 'Shine', which hit #11 on the pop chart and #1 on the rock chart.

'Shine' would go on to win the Best Rock Song category at the 1994 Billboard Music Awards.

Passes for all of the entire 2026 Buffalo Chip concert lineup are available online and start at just $45.

An odd thing that's puzzled folks vacationing in Mexico is that there seems to be an abundance of South Dakota license plates. In fact, there are so many, it doesn't make sense.
