Metal mania: 1980s rock explosion to take over Promenade Park
Five iconic ’80s metal performers, one rowdy night. Presented by HB Concerts, the 80’s Rock Invasion features a who’s who of hair metal. There’s appearances from Stephen Pearcy of Ratt, founding Guns N’ Roses drummer Steven Adler, and performances by bands Great White, Slaughter, and Vixen.

So that’s the direction that I felt we needed to go with a sizeable show in Toledo.”
