38 Special -MILESTONE

About this show

38 Special - 50 years together. 20 million albums sold. More than 15 albums of guitar-driven southern rock, stacked high with hits like “Hold On Loosely,” “Caught Up In You,” “If I’d Been The One,” “Back Where You Belong,” and “Second Chance.” 38 Special is proof that there’s strength in numbers. Formed in 1974, the band toured tirelessly from the start, sharpening the explosive live show that's been 38 Special's calling card for a half-century. Years passed… but 38 Special remained, hitting the road year after year, flying the flag for an enduring form of classic rock & roll that never dies. As 38 Special enters its sixth decade together, the music continues with Milestone. Fueled up on snarling guitars, anthemic melodies, and the desire to break new ground, they update their sound for the 2020s, bridging the gap between past and present without forgetting their rock & roll roots. "After all this time, we wanted to create a more modern 38 Special album," says frontman and co-founder Don Barnes. "This is a fresh, updated approach to the sound we've been making together for so long. Why not make a big statement after all these years?" Milestone opens with a roar of Barnes' voice, delivering a line that might as well be the band's mission statement — "Don't wanna ever slow down!" On the jangling lead single "All I Haven't Said," 38 Special nods to the melody-driven bands that came before them. "That's my throwback to the '60s, inspired by bands like the Searchers." On "Slightly Controversial," Barnes splits vocal duties with Train frontman Pat Monahan, a longtime fan of the band, with his own cover of "Hold On Loosely" (recording alongside Joe Bonamassa to boot). Randy Bachman, co-founder of The Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive, shows up as a co-writer with Barnes on the socially-conscious track "Long Long Train.” • • MUST have TICKET for entry • GENERAL ADMISSION ONLY • Clear Bag Required - All bags subject to search • No coolers, outside food or drink • No pop-up tents • No umbrellas that are larger than 18 inches when closed • No numbered or permanent seating • Guests may bring one personal folding chair per ticket holder • Chair rentals available for $10 (GA), included in price for VIP ticket holders • Oversized camping or loveseat-style chairs, chairs with extended high backs, attached canopies, footrests, or umbrellas are not permitted. • Pit is standing room only • No professional-grade cameras or video equipment • No contraband or illegal substances • No dogs, cats or pets of any kind • No laser pointers • No skateboards • No weapons ATTENTION: TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE - Rain or Shine event Doors open at 5:30 pm For more information on policies, parking, etc., visit our website.
