Because the Loverboy and Survivor concert is an extra-large show, it will start at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 26.
For more than 30 years, Loverboy has been “Working for the Weekend” and on weekends, delighting audiences around the world since forming in Calgary, Alberta. With their trademark red leather pants, bandanas, big rock sound and high-energy live shows, you’ll be “Lovin’ Every Minute Of It.” With more than 30 million albums sold and three top-10 singles, original members frontman Mike Reno, guitarist Paul Dean, drummer Matt Frenette and keyboardist Doug Johnson, with help from Ken “Spider” Sinnaeve, who became the band’s bassist in 2001, have been rocking audiences for decades.

Legendary rock band Survivor is embarking on its next chapter with a new member who has seemingly given new life to one of rock ‘n’ roll’s preeminent bands. With 21-year-old Nashville resident Cameron Barton assuming lead vocalist duties, the group continues to bring its trademark arena rock sound to a loyal and devoted fan base.

Survivor released its first album in 1980, and its big break was in 1982, providing “Eye Of The Tiger” on the “Rocky III” soundtrack, earning a Grammy, a People’s Choice Award, an Academy Award and a nomination for a Golden Globe. The group followed up with “Burning Heart,” “I Can’t Hold Back,” “High On You” and “The Search Is Over.”

Loverboy will be part of a double show at the Elkhart County Fair. See Loverboy and Survivor at the grandstand at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 26.
