With their signature blend of classic tradition and modern edge\, The Rocky Road Tour promises to be a vibrant showcase of Irish culture\, energy\, and musicality. It was their inclusion on the soundtrack of Sinners—the current #1 movie worldwide\, starring Michael B. Jordan and directed by Ryan Coogler—that marked a defining moment in their global recognition. The film’s soundtrack\, already topping international streaming charts\, was curated by Oscar- and Grammy-winning composer Ludwig Göransson (Oppenheimer\, The Mandalorian\, Black Panther)\, a long-time admirer of The High Kings’ distinctive vocal blend and musicianship.\nAfter attending their sold-out show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles earlier this year\, Göransson selected two tracks—“The Rocky Road to Dublin” and “Go Lassie Go”—to feature prominently in the film’s score. \nThe Rocky Road Tour 2026 will build on this global success\, offering audiences a high-energy live show that reinforces The High Kings’ place at the forefront of Irish folk.

SUMMARY:PANDORA'S BOX - ULTIMATE AEROSMITH TRIBUTE with SPECIAL GUEST BAD MEDICINE
DESCRIPTION:Come get a dose of some hard driving\, melodic Rock and Roll with Pandora’s Box: “The Ultimate Aerosmith Tribute”. It would be hard to find a more qualified group of veteran performers to bring you this mesmerizing\, high energy journey through 40 plus years of the top power hits from one of rocks’ most influential bands. The music of Aerosmith has all the ingredients to make any event successful & one to remember. It brings back memories with their catchy hooks and sing-a-long melodies. With 50 years of multi-platinum selling mega hits starting like “Dream On\,” “Sweet Emotion” and “Walk This Way” to “Dude Looks Like A Lady\,” “Rag Doll” and “Love In An Elevator”\, the band penned a string of more chartbusters in the 90’s and pinnacled with their first number 1 single ever in 1998 with “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing”. You don’t have to wait very long to hear one of your favorite songs at a Pandora’s Box show! \nBad Medicine was formed and led by lifelong Bon Jovi fan\, Joe Frasca\, back in 2001. Through the years\, the talented collection of musicians\, with over 100+ combined years of on stage experience\, has proven time and time again that Bad Medicine is truly the “next best thing”. In recent years\, Bad Medicine has added several “non-Jovi” songs from the same genre\, for those longer sets and situations that require a more diverse performance. However\, Bad Medicine remains the favorite choice for Bon Jovi and is still true to giving tribute to one of the most iconic and successful bands in history. Bad Medicine has opened up for several national acts including Eddie Money\, Great White\, Lita Ford\, Bret Michaels (on numerous occasions)\, Foghat\, Blue Oyster Cult\, George Thorogood\, Rick Springfield\, and more.  If you want to see an accurate reproduction of the Bon Jovi sound\, look\, feel\, and energy\, it’s safe to say some Bad Medicine is what you need… \nBuy Now
