SUMMARY:Nine Lives: A Tribute to REO Speedwagon & Pink Houses USA: A Tribute to John Mellencamp
DESCRIPTION:Two of the Midwest’s most beloved tribute acts\, Nine Lives and Pink Houses USA\, will share the stage at The Family Arena in St. Charles\, Missouri on Friday\, September 25. Nine Lives pays tribute to the legendary REO Speedwagon\, while Pink Houses USA celebrates the iconic catalog of John Cougar Mellencamp.  \n\nNine Lives brings the timeless sound of REO Speedwagon back to life with five seasoned St. Louis-area musicians who collectively boast over 200 years of combined stage experience. \nAt the heart of the show is lead vocalist Tim Levene\, whose uncanny portrayal of Kevin Cronin captures every nuance of the legendary frontman — from the vocals to the guitar and piano work that define REO’s iconic live performances. Alongside him\, guitarist Tom delivers the blistering Les Paul mastery of Gary Richrath with jaw-dropping authenticity\, replicating every signature lead note-for-note. \nHolding down the low end is bassist Rob\, a true St. Louis music veteran who has shared the stage with virtually everyone in the regional scene. His rock-solid foundation — and surprisingly powerful voice — makes him the band’s secret weapon. Behind the kit\, drummer Bobby brings the same ironclad rhythmic backbone he honed as drummer for RED\, the acclaimed Sammy Hagar tribute\, ensuring REO’s driving sound hits just as hard as it always has. Rounding out the lineup is keyboardist Wayne\, another RED alumnus whose versatility across piano\, synthesizer\, and organ — sharpened through years with top regional acts like Tribute\, Incognito\, and Superjam — adds the lush harmonic texture that completes the experience. \nTogether\, Nine Lives delivers a note-perfect\, high-energy tribute that will have you riding the storm out all night long. \n\nPink Houses USA was born two years ago as a passion project\, dedicated to honoring the powerhouse catalog of John Cougar Mellencamp. Each musician was handpicked through a deliberate audition process\, assembling what has quickly become one of the Midwest’s strongest tribute acts. \nAfter nearly a year of weekly rehearsals\, the band hit the stage ready — and the response has been undeniable. With over 20 shows under their belt in the last 18 months and 15 more already booked\, Pink Houses USA is only picking up steam. \nFrom “Jack & Diane” to “Small Town\,” the band delivers Mellencamp’s beloved hits with heart\, grit\, and a deep connection to the audiences who grew up with these songs. As the band puts it\, “These songs are part of who we are and they tell the stories of real life — and we make sure every show leaves people feeling like they were part of something special.” \nThat commitment shows. Night after night\, Pink Houses USA brings Mellencamp’s working-class spirit and Heartland rock to life in a way that feels less like a tribute and more like a celebration. \n\nHAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT A SUITE? \nLooking for a way to enjoy the show without fighting the crowd. We have specially priced our suites just for this event. Here’s what you get: \n\n12 Tickets\n3 VIP Parking Passes (That’s the lot right across from the box office)\nToasted Ravioli (60 pieces)\nChicken Tenders (30 pieces)\nPopcorn\n12 – 20oz Sodas or Waters (or swap it out for 6 additional beers)\n24 – 12oz Beers\nAnd right now this offer is only $500.00 (including tax and service charge). \nPlus if you want to purchase more food and/or beverages they’re just a phone call away.

SUMMARY:Jefferson Starship
DESCRIPTION:For five decades\, John Ulett has been part of the heartbeat of St. Louis rock radio. On Saturday\, September 26\, 2026\, that legacy gets the celebration it deserves when Jefferson Starship headlines an unforgettable night of classic rock at The Family Arena\, honoring Ulett’s 50 years on KSHE-95. This special concert brings together four legendary bands whose music has lived on KSHE airwaves for generations\, delivering a night packed with songs that helped define rock radio and the listeners who grew up with it. \nJefferson Starship remains one of the most successful rock bands of the 1970s and ’80s\, earning three platinum albums\, eight gold albums\, and numerous Top 40 Billboard singles. Founded by Paul Kantner in the 1970s\, the band was conceived as a collective of musical adventurers\, producing a catalog of rock classics that continue to resonate with audiences today. \n \nSince the current lineup solidified in 2012\, Jefferson Starship has become a formidable touring act\, performing in all 50 U.S. states\, across five continents\, and around the world. The band’s members often describe themselves as both a “family” and a “gang\,” a bond that shines through in their dynamic live performances and hit-filled sets. \nThe current lineup features founding member David Freiberg\, drummer Donny Baldwin\, keyboardist Chris Smith\, guitarist Jude Gold\, and singer/guitarist Cathy Richardson. While honoring the legacy of Kantner\, who passed away in 2016\, the band continues to embrace the spirit of exploration and adventure that has always defined Jefferson Starship. \nSupporting Jefferson Starship is a lineup of celebrated artists whose songs remain staples of classic rock radio: \nAtlanta Rhythm Section\, formed from Atlanta’s top studio musicians\, brings their smooth Southern rock sound and enduring hits including “So Into You” and “Imaginary Lover.” Inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame\, ARS continues to showcase the musical excellence that made them a radio favorite. \nOrleans delivers timeless pop-rock favorites such as “Still the One\,” “Dance With Me\,” and “Love Takes Time.” Nearly five decades into their career\, the band remains known for its signature vocal harmonies\, guitar interplay\, and engaging live shows. \nFirefall brings a rich blend of rock\, folk-rock\, and country-rock shaped by the classic American sound of the 1970s. Best known for hits including “You Are the Woman\,” “Just Remember I Love You\,” “Strange Way\,” and “Cinderella\,” Firefall continues to perform the songs that made them a mainstay of classic rock radio for more than four decades.

SUMMARY:Sebastian Bach with Great White and Quiet Riot
DESCRIPTION:Three titans of ‘80s rock are set to deliver an unforgettable night of powerhouse performances. Sebastian Bach\, Great White\, and Quiet Riot will take the stage at The Family Arena on Saturday\, October 3\, 2026\, for a concert that promises a marathon of hard-hitting anthems. \nThe show brings together a trio of artists who have defined generations of rock and metal music. Fans can prepare for an evening packed with the iconic sounds and electrifying stage presence that cemented each act’s place in music history. \nSebastian Bach brings his inimitable and instantly identifiable voice\, which has powered some of rock’s most enduring anthems. His catalog includes generational hits like “18 and Life\,” “I Remember You\,” and “Slave To The Grind.” Bach’s influence extends beyond music\, having made history as the first heavy metal singer on Broadway and appearing in numerous films and television shows\, proving his versatile and powerful presence. \n \nGRAMMY-nominated hard rock legends Great White continue to thrive after four decades\, proving their songs are bigger than any one member. With over 10 million albums sold worldwide\, their arsenal of hits includes “Once Bitten\, Twice Shy\,” “Rock Me\,” and “House of Broken Love.” Led by new vocalist Brett Carlisle\, the band’s live show is an emotional wave of sultry lyrics and powerful orchestrations that continues to captivate audiences. \n \nQuiet Riot is a true rock & roll phenomenon. Famously the first heavy metal band to top the Billboard pop chart\, their monster 1983 album “Metal Health” became an overnight sensation. Driven by their smash rendition of “Cum on Feel the Noize” and the iconic original “Metal Health (Bang Your Head)\,” the band kicked open the door for the 80s hair metal craze\, and their sound remains as potent as ever.

SUMMARY:BEAT - Belew/Vai/Levin/Bozzio Performing the Music of KING CRIMSON
DESCRIPTION:King Crimson members ADRIAN BELEW and TONY LEVIN\, alongside STEVE VAI and TERRY BOZZIO approach the next chapter of BEAT. The quartet has announced a tour of the U.S. that will stage 40 appearances. The general on-sale is set for Friday\, August 7 at 10AM local time. Tickets and VIP experiences will be available here. \nAdrian Belew shares\, “For those of you who’ve seen BEAT live\, it’s important to note we’ll be adding some material from ‘90s Crim to our U.S. tour. Along with the addition of superman drummer Terry Bozzio\, we feel this will result in a new experience for our audience.  We’re very excited to play for you again.  Don’t miss it!” \nThe global audience has celebrated the existence of BEAT\, responding to the music\, chemistry\, spirit and respect this collective of esteemed musicians has brought to one of the most remarkable catalogs in progressive rock. BEAT continues to evolve whole remaining true to the music and the spirit that inspired it.  \nAs Adrian\, Tony and Steve approach the band’s upcoming activity\, Terry Bozzio enters the fold behind the kit. Danny Carey remains an important part of the BEAT family\, and simply his Tool commitments prevent him from being available for this upcoming run in the Fall. Steve Vai offers\, “Terry is one of the truly legendary drummers of our time\, whose remarkable career and unique musical voice make him the perfect artist to join us for this tour. He brings his own extraordinary artistry to BEAT\, and that’s something worth celebrating.” Adrian Belew shares\, “Our deepest appreciation goes to our brother Danny Carey—a true BEAT-Poet. His extraordinary musicianship\, generosity\, humor\, and explosive creativity helped establish BEAT as something far beyond a tribute. He helped create its identity. While Tool commitments keep him from joining us this fall\, he remains an essential part of our family. \nWhen the ensemble’s existence was first made public on April 2\, 2024\, the vision was simply to present a creative reinterpretation of the three iconic 80s KING CRIMSON albums – Discipline\, Beat\, and Three Of A Perfect Pair. Just over forty appearances were announced across the U.S.\, triggering a majority of those planned appearances reaching sold-out status in days. Additional performances were added\, creating an inaugural run which staged 65 concerts across the U.S. Appearances in Mexico\, South America and Tokyo’s legendary Budokan followed\, most recently staging an extensive run of the U.K. and Europe performing in 31 cities this year. \nWhen the band heads back out in the Fall\, fans should anticipate some exciting additions to the repertoire being performed\, with several songs rotating out while other classic King Crimson pieces emerging in to the set. Those details will come to light once the tour begins. \nThe itinerary kicks off on October 9 at the Quarry Amphitheater in Santa Cruz\, CA\, with a final appearance planned in at Riverside\, CA’s Municipal Auditorium on December 3.    \nIn front of the 2024 tour\, guitarist Adrian Belew reflected\, “The 1981 through 1984 King Crimson created a music all its own. Timeless. Beautiful. Complex. Fierce.  For the fans who lived through it then\, and the ones who never got to witness it\, our aim is to bring it to life again. A monumental task but we’re going for it!  There are not enough exclamation points to express my excitement!” \nGuitarist Steve Vai stated\, “Being a part of this ensemble is an extraordinary privilege and opportunity to perform some of the most beloved\, timeless\, and monumental music of the 80’s (and beyond) with truly inspired musicians. This music resonates deeply with me. Father Robert Fripp is one of our historical geniuses. His highly specific and exceptionally brilliant guitar technique is studied and revered. His contribution to the quality of my musical life\, and so many others is supreme.” \nBassist Tony Levin offered\, “Revisiting some of my favorite music is a treat in itself. It’s also great that we’re not just playing a few shows\, we’re hitting it hard. So\, Road Dogs are coming to your area soon.” \nDrummer Terry Bozzio shares\, “All of these guys are my friends and excellent musicians who l’ve played with before! When l was asked to join this tour\, l was honored & very grateful to do it!” \nAn exclusive meet & greet with Adrian Belew\, Steve Vai\, Tony Levin and Terry Bozzio will be staged at each appearance planned.

SUMMARY:Country & Christmas: Gatlin Brothers and Crystal Gayle
DESCRIPTION:The Family Arena is proud to announce that two of country music’s most beloved legends will share its stage on December 17\, 2026\, for an unforgettable holiday evening. The Country & Christmas tour brings together The Gatlin Brothers and Crystal Gayle — each performing their own full set of greatest hits alongside a selection of timeless Christmas music. \nThe Gatlin Brothers — A Farewell to Remember \nLarry\, Steve\, and Rudy Gatlin have been dazzling audiences for seven decades\, and this December 17th performance is part of their farewell tour — a bittersweet opportunity for fans to celebrate a career that stands among the most decorated in country music history. Grammy Award winners and recipients of three ACM Awards — including Single of the Year for “All the Gold in California\,” Album of the Year for Straight Ahead\, and Male Vocalist of the Year — the Gatlins have amassed 7 #1 singles\, 32 Top 40 records\, and 24 studio albums. Their signature songs\, including “Broken Lady\,” “Houston (Means I’m One Day Closer to You)\,” “I Don’t Wanna Cry\,” and “All the Gold in California\,” have become permanent fixtures of the American country songbook. \n \nBeyond their performing legacy\, Larry Gatlin ranks 4th on Billboard’s top 40 self-penned hits and has had his compositions recorded by Elvis Presley\, Barbra Streisand\, Johnny Cash\, and Roy Orbison\, among many others. Most recently inducted into the Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame\, Larry’s legacy as one of BMI’s top solo songwriters is secure. For fans who have followed the brothers from Abilene\, Texas to Carnegie Hall to the Grand Ole Opry\, the Country & Christmas stop in St. Charles offers a rare and meaningful chance to say farewell in person. \n \nCrystal Gayle — An Icon in Full Voice \nJoining the Gatlins is the incomparable Crystal Gayle\, whose career has spanned hit records\, Hollywood honors\, and a place enshrined in the very fabric of American popular music. A member of the Grand Ole Opry — inducted in January 2017 by her sister Loretta Lynn — Crystal has charted over 20 #1 hits and accumulated 35 top-10 country singles\, 13 of which crossed over to pop and adult contemporary audiences. Her timeless signature song “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue” remains one of the most recognized recordings in country music history\, joined by beloved hits including “You’ve Been Talking in Your Sleep\,” “When I Dream\,” “Half the Way\,” and her duet with Eddie Rabbitt\, “Just You and I.” \n \nCrystal has been honored by the Grammy Awards\, the CMA\, the ACM\, and the American Music Awards throughout her storied career. In 2009\, she received her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame\, and that same year was inducted into the Christian Music Hall of Fame. The Academy of Country Music presented her with the 2016 Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award for her lifetime achievements. Crystal recently released her new album You Don’t Know Me\, a deeply personal collection of classic country songs that shaped her early life and career. On the Country & Christmas tour\, fans can expect Crystal’s warm\, wide-ranging voice to bring both her greatest hits and beloved holiday favorites to brilliant life. \n \nA Holiday Night to Remember \nTogether\, The Gatlin Brothers and Crystal Gayle represent an extraordinary breadth of country music history — from gospel-rooted harmonies to crossover pop brilliance.
