Ridgefield, WA –– The Clark County Fair Association is excited to announce the ultimate one- night rock-n-roll experience – Summer of Rock at the Fair presented by KUFO! Four chart topping alternative rock bands hit the stage at the Amphitheater at Clark County – featuring Staind, Shinedown, Chevelle and Halestorm. Tickets go on Sale this Saturday, May 16th at 10:00am all Ticketmaster locations and Ticketmaster.com. The value priced tickets start at only $29.00 and go to $59.00, which includes admission to the Fair.
The Clark County Fair and KUFO are presenting this first ever four-band line up, “Fair goers in the past got one rock act per night, now they can enjoy four bands, in a great venue, and enjoy the Fair as well,” said John Morrison, Fair Manager.
This will be the first time the Clark County Fair has worked in conjunction with the Amphitheater at Clark County. NOTE: Unlike the Concert Series in the Grandstand, regular Fair admission tickets do not include seating for this special engagement in the Amphitheater. “We are extremely excited about the opportunity to utilize the Amphitheater in conjunction with the Fair to present an amazing line up of rock artists,” said Justin Kobluk, Executive Director, FSMG .
The four band tour will hit more than 40 U.S. markets, including some of the hardest hit by the recession. In a show of solidarity for their fans, the four bands have worked closely with the concert promoters to create a package of exceptional value for ticket buyers. Through their collective efforts, they’ve been able to maintain modest base ticket prices that remain mostly under $40 each - half the cost of comparable multi-band summer tour packages
“Wall Street got its bailout; now it’s time for rock fans to get theirs,” said Staind frontman Aaron Lewis. “This summer, we want to give our fans one night where they can forget about everything else and experience a great rock show.”
"We've always said that we, as a band, only answer to one boss...and that's everyone in the audience,” offers Shinedown's Brent Smith. "It’s our job...our privilege to offer our fans an escape. Teaming up with these other great bands, we're doing what we can to help lift everyone's spirits in these tough times…the power of music can do that."
