2026 85th Sturgis Rally Concerts

David Lee Roth
You won’t be able to wipe the smile from your face after you close out the first official day of the 2026 Sturgis Rally with some of the most killer rock jams ever made performed by the most insane, antic-filled frontman on earth – David Lee Roth. For the first time in 20 years, Diamond Dave is storming the Wolfman Jack Main Stage, unleashing his Van Halen mega-hits that defined generations. The setlist has been partially revealed, and it is filled with banger after banger after certified banger. Don’t miss your chance to sing along to every word to “Jump,” “Panama,” “Hot for Teacher,” “Ain’t Talkin’ ’Bout Love,” and more to close out the Buffalo Chip’s Official Sturgis Rally Kickoff Party on Friday, Aug. 7.

Megadeth
Saturday, Aug. 8
Catch Megadeth’s Sturgis Rally debut and step into heavy metal history. Fresh off their final album, the legendary “Big 4” thrash metal gods will unleash fan favorites as well as a rumored performance of Metallica’s “Ride the Lightning”—a song co-written by Megadeth founder Dave Mustaine during his days in Metallica. However it unfolds, expect blistering speed, earth-shaking volume, and riffs so intense they’ll melt your face clean off.

With decades of airplay and 30 million albums sold, you’ll sing every word to “Sweet Home Alabama”, “Simple Man” and, let’s be honest, someone will definitely yell, “Free Bird!”

Lynyrd Skynyrd joins a lineup with Lainey Wilson at the legendary venue and stage that put the Sturgis Rally on the Music Festival Map and has hosted over

272 No. 1 hits

from generations of hitmakers.

The best part is, things are just revving up.

Under the South Dakota stars, you won’t need “Watermelon Moonshine” to feel a little buzzy. Lainey Wilson’s high-octane Sturgis concert debut will do the trick just fine. This country music powerhouse will bring her signature “Bell Bottom Country” style to the Largest Music Festival in Motorcycing® on Aug. 12. With a shelf full of ACM, CMA, and Grammy Awards, plus chart-topping hits like “Heart Like a Truck” and “4x4xU,” Wilson is set to deliver a high-energy show that will have you singing along to every word.

As a rock icon and filmmaker with a unique vision, Rob Zombie has continuously challenged audiences as he stretches the boundaries of both music and film. He has sold more than fifteen million albums worldwide, and is the only artist to experience unprecedented success in both music and film as the writer/director of nine feature films including HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES, THE DEVIL’S REJECTS, THE MUNSTERS and the number one smash HALLOWEEN.

MUSIC
After four years, Rob Zombie is back with new music as he announces his latest record, THE GREAT SATAN, out on Nuclear Blast in 2026. The new music brings Zombie back to his Hellbilly roots with frenetic cuts such as “Punks & Demons,” “Heathen Days,” “(I’m a) Rock ‘N’ Roller” and “Tarantula.”

Rob Zombie has achieved great success in the music industry, first as a member of the multi-platinum band White Zombie and later as a solo artist with even greater results collecting numerous multi-platinum and gold albums along the way including Hellbilly Deluxe, The Sinister Urge and Educated Horses. Rob Zombie’s most recent record, The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy (2021), debuted at #9 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart, making it his 7th consecutive solo album to debut in the top 10.

Collective Soul – Thursday, Aug. 13
Some bands just bring instant nostalgia, and this is one of them. Collective Soul returns with hits you know by heart, like “Shine,” “December,” and “The World I Know.” With more than 15 million albums sold, six Gold or Platinum releases, and seven No. 1 singles, this Georgia rock powerhouse delivers a high-energy show that reminds you why these songs have stuck around for decades.

Formed in 1991, Jackyl roared onto the scene with a high-octane blend of hard rock and Southern rock, carving out their own unapologetic space in American rock history. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1992 under Geffen Records, went double platinum and delivered smash hits like “The Lumberjack,” “I Stand Alone,” and “Down on Me.”

Known for their raw energy and electrifying live shows, Jackyl has become a mainstay at festivals and rock venues nationwide. Fronted by the unmistakable voice and chainsaw antics of Jesse James Dupree (vocals/guitar), alongside Jeff Worley (guitar), Chris Worley (drums), and Roman Glick (bass), the band has shared stages with legends like ZZ Top, Aerosmith, and Ted Nugent.

In 2022, Jackyl celebrated their 30th anniversary with a raucous performance at the iconic Full Throttle Saloon and released Jackyl 30 Coming In Hot, a testament to their enduring legacy. With no signs of slowing down, they continue to record, tour, and tear up stages across America.
