CHICAGO RUSH VS UTAH
June 8 at 7:00 P.M.
Tickets: $17- $67 

After finalizing a deal with the Allstate Arena and BMO Harris Bank Center on Tuesday, the Chicago Rush are set to enter the 2013 AFL season with a new owner, Chicago native David Staral Jr. In the three weeks since Staral Jr. has acquired control of the largest market in the Arena Football League, he has finalized the team’s front office, coaching staff and schedule for the 2013 season. “The Allstate Arena has been the home of the Chicago Rush since the team’s inception,” Staral Jr. said, “We hope to continue to build on the legacy of this historic team but give fans an experience they have never seen before. This is the new regime, it’s a whole new ball game.” The Rush will kick off the new vision of the franchise March 23 against the Iowa Barnstormers in Chicago. The team will make their national television debut on CBS Sports Network at the Allstate Arena on May 4 against the Philadelphia Soul. CBS Sports Network will also feature the Rush on the road on April 20 and May 25.

Due to scheduling issues at the Allstate Arena, two home games will be played at the BMO Harris Bank Center in Rockford, IL (June 8 vs. Utah and June 15 vs. San Antonio). The arena was home to the AFL’s “test game” between the Chicago Politicians and Rockford Metros in 1986. The Rush plan to pay tribute to the history of the AFL and the Chicago franchise against the Utah Blaze. They will also offer free parking to season ticket holders and host an official tailgate party for both games in Rockford. Players report for team meetings and physicals today. Training camp begins tomorrow in Palatine, IL.

Rave and BMO Harris Bank Center officials are excited about the two games being played in Rockford.  Individual tickets for the two games in June; will go on-sale begininng on March 15, 2013.

Alice Cooper and Marilyn Manson Masters of Madness Tour

Alice Cooper & Marilyn Manson
Masters of Madness Tour

Friday, June 28
BMO Harris Bank Center
TICKETS:$39.50-$54.50

TICKETS GO ON SALE MARCH 16 at 10 A.M.

In what is obviously a "dream" pairing, or some might say a "nightmare," Alice Cooper and Marilyn Manson will be teaming up for the "Masters of Madness" tour . Following recent pairings of Alice with Rob Zombie and then Rob Zombie with Marilyn, this combination of Alice Cooper and Marilyn Manson has been long-awaited by fans of both artists.

Alice Cooper is a true rock icon, having pioneered the use of theatrics and shocking images onstage in concerts from the earliest days of the original band of the same name.   Since going solo, he has continued to produce elaborate stage shows providing fans with both shock and rock of the highest caliber.

Inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, Alice has toured and recorded continuously, with his most recent album being Welcome 2 My Nightmare  through UMe. Recorded with longtime collaborator Bob Ezrin, who produced the original ground breaking, multi-platinum Welcome To My Nightmare album in 1975, the album picks up right where they left off, with Alice trapped in his own warped mind.

Marilyn Manson’s most recent full-length album Born Villain, his eighth overall, debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart. It also grabbing the #1 spots on both the Heavy Album Chart and the Independent Album Chart.

“Born Villain is a return to form,” Says CNN. “A hard-rocking album, brimming with rich imagery, visceral blowback and the glamour-meets-gutter eroticism that his best work evokes.” Rolling Stone has called the album some of his most “visceral and provocative tunes.” Born Villain earned Manson his fourth Grammy nomination at the 2013 Grammys in the category for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance for the album’s lead single “No Reflection.”

Here Come The Mummies
Davis Park
June 29 8:30 P.M.
Tickets: $15


America’s (or Egypt’s) most funky funk band, no one gets a crowd moving and shaking like Here Come The Mummies. There's no way 5 stars can possibly cover how unbelievably amazing it is to spend an evening with the hilarious and ridiculously talented boys in bandages. It’s Funk, Rock, Jazz, R&B and Soul all wrapped up in infectious humor and backed by the biggest, baddest horn section in the business. If you haven’t seen Here Come The Mummies live, you need to add them to your bucket list right now.

   Brilliantly funny, totally insane, and just dirty enough to make you feel a little naughty for loving them so much. You won’t be able to walk out of this concert without being completely obsessed with the Mummies. This might be the first time you see them, but it won’t be the last.

   With completely unrelenting grooves, chops of absolute steel, non-stop terrifying funk from the grave, and the absolutely unspeakable “gonging of the cowbells”, there hasn’t been this much world class talent on the same stage in decades. (There are “rumored” (wink, wink) to be a couple of Grammy winners in the band, but we’re not telling you who, and neither are they!)

Here Come The Mummies - they don’t play - they COOK.

Come get mummified. It’ll blow you away. You won’t regret it

The Henningsens
Saturday, August 31
Davis Park
Gates open at 4P.M.
Tickets are$15
 

Tickets available Friday, May 24 at 10 A.M.


To introduce the trio, they are Brian Henningsen (bass, guitar, vocals) – family patriarch and father of 10 including eldest son Aaron (guitar, vocals) and daughter Clara (lead vocals, guitar).

Their first single and album title track is called “American Beautiful,” and for exciting new family trio The Henningsens, “American Beautiful” may be an American spirit story wrapped up in a love song, but in lyrics like “we’re a little unusual, we are American beautiful,” there’s a window into the unlikely story of a group whose musical journey has been anything but typical.

With the 2013 release of their Arista Nashville debut album, American Beautiful, helmed by four-time GRAMMY®-winning producer Paul Worley (Lady Antebellum, Martina McBride), The Henningsens showcase a sound that is fresh, vibrant, and uniquely their own, with Clara’s expressive and inviting vocals center stage, together with gorgeous family harmonies, compelling songcraft, and vivid storytelling, offering lyrics that paint sometimes traditional themes in non-traditional ways.

 “We try to be very lyrically descriptive,” Brian says of the trio’s songwriting.  “We always say it when we write:  we’re trying to make a little movie play in your mind.”

Tickets available at the BMO Harris Bank Center Box Office, online at www.thebmoharrisbankcenter.com, or charge by phone at (815) 968-5222. Additional fees may apply.
