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 Saturday August 8th

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.Tuesday August 11th

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.Thursday August 13th
