Rock the Arena: Your Backstage Pass

20160319-IMG_0021To say that Rock the Arena held in Toledo, Ohio on March 19 was a success is an understatement. The sold out show was electric and each artist delivered high energy performances that left fans eager for more. The lineup for the day started off with Trixter, followed by FireHouse and Lita Ford. Dokken, Winger, and Warrant rounded out the early evening. RATT was the final band to take the stage prior to Bret Michaels, who was the headliner for the evening. Photographer Jason Evans captured sensational images from the evening as seen in the photo gallery below. Writer Amanda Knight spent time backstage watching the hustle of both band staff and Savage Arena staff. The tireless dedication of the performing bands’  road crew and Arena staff made the day of rock possible. The atmosphere behind the scenes was almost as alive as it was on stage.
