Prepare yourself for one of the biggest rock concerts of the year; Deep Purple, Judas Priest, with the Temperance Movement is hitting the stage on August 25.
Deep Purple is an English rock band that formed in 1968. Originally formed as a progressive rock band, the band shifted to a heavier sound in 1970 and they sound just as good, if not better, decades later. They're famous for their songs "Smoke on the Water", "Highway Star", and "Never Before."
Judas Priest is one of the originators of heavy metal, known for their lead singer's vocals and high pitched screams, innovative two-lead-guitar sound, and their complex guitar duets. The band has released 15 studio albums to date, known for songs like "Breakin' the Law", "Painkiller", and "Love Bites."
Last but not least, The Temperance Movement! Now releasing their thrid album "A Deeper Cut," they've made it out of their slump with songs inspired by their favorite rock and roll icons. This past year alone they've received an award for The Best Rock Band at the Scottish Music Awards, and Best Acoustic Performance Award from the French radio station, OUI FM.
