This is going to be one helluva big hair party!

Sturgis, SD (PRWEB) May 09, 2017 -- Two of the bands that helped shaped ‘80s Sunset Strip-era rock ‘n’ roll and became part of the foundation of that genre’s transformation, will be leading the party at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip on Saturday, Aug. 5. RATT, whose signature sound made them one of the most popular rock acts of the time and helped pioneer Hollwood’s legendary hard rock sound and scene will be sharing the stage with Night Ranger, a band that has significantly impacted popular culture and produced some of the most powerful songs of the decade. To see the Buffalo Chip’s official ‘80s-themed band announcement video and find more info, visit http://www.BuffaloChip.com/BANDS.

RATT has been spreading its infectious brand of Ratt ‘N’ Roll to the masses for nearly four decades now, but the reunion of four of the band’s original members makes the upcoming Buffalo Chip performance a particular stand out. Their list of platinum smashes including “Invasion of Your Privacy,” “Dancin' Undercover” and “Reach for the Sky,” along with the blockbuster anthems "Round and Round," “Wanted Man” and “Lay it Down” all contributed to their colossal success.

Night Ranger has both epitomized and transcended the arena rock sound and style. The band earned widespread acclaim, multi-platinum and gold album status while leaving their indelible mark on the music charts with an impressive string of instantly recognizable hit singles and signature album tracks such as “Sister Christian”, “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me”, “When You Close Your Eyes” and “(You Can Still) Rock In America.”

“We receive more requests for the ‘80s rock than bands from any other genre,” said Rod Woodruff, President of the Sturgis Buffalo Chip. “RATT and Night Ranger combine on the first Saturday to give our fans an incredible rock and roll ride of that favored decade. There aren’t many of these legendary bands still touring, and here’s an opportunity to see two of the biggest on the same night, with just one pass. This is going to be one helluva big hair party!”

As the largest and most easily accessed concert and camping venue east of Sturgis, concert attendees not already camping at the Buffalo Chip will be able to access the free parking area at the east gate, about 5 miles from exit 37 on I-90.
