We've seen Joan Jett, we've got Bob Seger coming in March, and now the Denny Sanford Premier Center is bringing you three times the classic rock this summer!

B102.7, Live Nation, and Pepper Entertainment are proud to welcome one of the biggest nights of classic rock Sioux Falls has ever seen with Def Leppard, Styx, and Tesla sharing the stage, Saturday, August 8, 2015 at the Denny Sanford Premier Center!

Def Leppard got its start in Sheffield, England in 1977 and quickly became one the biggest acts in the world, with a number-two album, Pyromania, in 1983, followed by back-to-back number one albums, Hysteria and Adrenalize, in 1987 and 1992.

In all, Def Leppard has amassed 15 Top 40 hits, and a number one song, "Love Bites".

Born in the suburbs of Chicago, Styx has been cranking out hits since "Lady" hit the Top Ten in 1974. The group reached superstar status with the release of The Grand Illusion album in the summer of 1977.  That album was the band's first in the Top Ten, and spawned the hits "Come Sail Away" and "Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)".  That release began a string of five straight Top Ten albums in a six-year span, including Pieces of Eight, Cornerstone, Paradise Theatre (which went to #1), and Kilroy Was Here.

Styx has 16 Top 40 singles to its' credit, including the number-one song "Babe", in 1979.

Tesla got its' beginnings in California's capital city, Sacramento, in the early 1980's.

Within four years, the band had an album, Mechanical Resonance, in the Top 35.  Tesla reached the height of its' popularity with three straight Top 20 albums, The Great Radio Controversy, Psychotic Supper, and Bust A Nut, between 1989 and 1994.  During that time, the band also cranked out a pair of Top Ten hit singles, "Love Song" in 1989, and a cover version of Five Man Electrical Band's "Signs", in 1991.
