Bret Michaels with special guest Dee Snider Saturday, March 1 • 8pm

With special guest Frank Ray • 7pm
Event Center • Exhibition Hall
Doors open at 6pm

Bret Michaels knows how to bring the party to the stage. He’s returning to French Lick Resort with Parti-Gras 2.0 — bigger, better and wilder with heavy metal icon Dee Snider. Get ready for a night of all killer hits by Poison and Twisted Sister.

Michaels rocked French Lick in February 2023 when he played the first sold-out show at the 2,500-seat Exhibition Hall. He’s back in 2025 and fans can expect, of course, “Nothin’ But a Good Time” with plenty more Poison fan favorites including “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” “Something to Believe In” and “Go That Far.” More than three decades after first taking the rock world by storm, a new generation of fans knows Bret from an array of television and film appearances — including the reality competition dating series Rock of Love and a first-place finish on NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice 3.

Snider is the voice behind “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “I Wanna Rock,” which remain enduring anthems of 80s rock. As the lead singer for Twisted Sister, there’s so much more to Dee Snider. He’s starred in reality TV shows including Celebrity Apprentice; MTV’s Rock The Cradle with his son Jesse; Growing Up Twisted, an A&E series featuring the entire Snider family and their Long Island lifestyle; and ABC’s Celebrity Wife Swap. He also starred in the hit Broadway musical Rock Of Ages and hosts his own long-running nationally syndicated radio show House Of Hair.

Jake Owen with special guest Uncle Kracker Saturday, June 21 • 8pm

Event Center • Exhibition Hall
Doors open at 6pm

Jake Owen is a country music mainstay with a collection of gold and platinum records, 10 No. 1 singles, and more than 2.5 billion U.S. on-demand streams. The ACM award winner’s laid-back style has produced hits like “Barefoot Blue Jean Night,” “Beachin’,” “Anywhere With You,” “Alone With You” and “The One That Got Away.” Jake has released nine albums, headlined tours globally, and appeared in the 2019 movie Our Friend. Also a music business executive, philanthropist and father of two, he’s the founder of The Jake Owen Foundation, a nonprofit lending financial support to children battling cancer and other childhood diseases.

Uncle Kracker has been the soundtrack of good times for more than two decades with his boldly breezy blend of country, pop and rock spiked with a splash of hip-hop. The world initially met Uncle Kracker during his stint in Kid Rock’s Twisted Brown Trucker Band, and fans fell in love with him on his 2000 solo debut “Double Wide” which went double-platinum and paved the way for his gold-certified “No Stranger To Shame” in 2002. Iconic hits including “Follow Me,” “When the Sun Goes Down” (with Kenny Chesney), “Drift Away” and “Smile” have produced chart-topping hits across three different lanes as Uncle Kracker has reached No. 1 on the pop, adult contemporary and country charts.
