Doors open at 7 p.m. with the show starting at 7:30.About the artistsScott Stapp's artistic and personal journey have encompassed all the talent and torment imaginable in scaling to musical success. The founding member of Creed chronicled his questions, his quest for answers, and his dreams from faith to fatherhood in chart topping hits, "My Own Prison," "Higher," "My Sacrifice," "One Last Breath" and "With Arms Wide Open," which dominated the sonic landscape of the 1990s-2000s.His soul-piercing lyrics backed by thundering rock riffs garnered a Grammy Award, and countless other accolades of creativity and chart domination, not to mention legions of fans, who felt a kindred spirit in his honesty.Since his original departure from Creed, Stapp has released two solo albums ("The Great Divide," 2005 and "Proof of Life," 2013, which was No. 1 on Christian charts), a revealing memoir ("Sinner's Creed," 2012), and a "rebirthed" Creed album, ("Full Circle," 2009). In addition to his thriving solo career, Stapp is also the lead singer of the new supergroup Art of Anarchy. The first album with Stapp, "The Madness," was released earlier this year.Since bursting onto the rock scene, Sick Puppies have sold over 1 million records and reached an RIAA Gold album certification for their breakout second full-length, "Tri-Polar," which yielded 2 million in single sales. This included the gold-certified "You're Going Down" as well as rock smashes "Maybe," "Riptide" and "Odd One."Drowning Pool skyrocketed to fame with their debut album, "Sinner," which was certified platinum just six weeks after its release. The band has more than 15 years of success at commercial rock radio, driven by the hard rock anthems "Bodies," "Tear Away" and "Sinner," and hits including "37 Stitches," "Step Up," "Feel Like I Do" and "One Finger And a Fist."Drowning Pool continues to support its latest release, "Hellelujah," and is currently at work on its seventh studio album while continuing to perform worldwide.RIAA certified platinum hard rock leaders Trapt originally burst onto the scene and radio airwaves in 2002 with its second self-titled album, spawning the career-defining hit "Headstrong," which hit the No. 1 spot on both the Billboard Modern Rock and Hot Mainstream Rock charts, as well as No. 16 on the Top 100 chart at the time of its release.Trapt's latest album, "DNA," represents the rebirth of the band and its ability to transform with current trends - remaining fresh and at the forefront.Las Vegas-based hard rock band "Adelitas Way" formed in 2006, but it wasn't until 2009 that it broke into the mainstream. The anthemic song, "Invincible," from its self-titled debut album, climbed its way into numerous television spots.Adelitas Way released its debut on Virgin Records in July 2009. The band's sophomore effort, "Home School Valedictorian," arrived in summer 2011, spawning four top-five singles - including two No. 1 hits on rock radio.Tickets are available at all Ticketmaster outlets or at the Penn's Peak box office or Roadie's Restaurant.
