Cheap Trick at Potawatomi with Rhythmic Noise Orchestra

My neighbor told me that she will once again be backing up Cheap Trick at Potawatomi Bingo Casino in October. My neighbor is a violinist. She’s an amazing musician, and will often get called to be part of the string section for touring bands that come through Milwaukee. She’s performed with Styx, Peter Gabriel, The Moody Blues, and many more. Sometimes she tells me about her gigs after the fact. This time, she managed to tell me ahead of time.

Cheap Trick Dream Police Returns

Backing up Cheap Trick for their Dream Police shows at Potawatomi will be none other than the Rhythmic Noise Philharmonic Orchestra and Mind Choir. The orchestra is comprised of nearly twenty members, featuring strings and brass. This is the second time that Potawatomi Casino has hosted the event, and it’s sure to be a sell out. There are eight shows in total, starting the weekend of October 2.

Like Fire and Ice? Marcus Amphitheater and Festa

It's that time of year where an ethnic festival will occupy the Summerfest grounds at the same time that a band plays at the Marcus Amphitheater. Poison, Cheap Trick, and Def Leppard will perform on Saturday at the Marcus. At the same time, Festa Italiana will be in full swing. You need separate tickets to attend either event.


Marcus Amphitheater tickets are in large supply for this weekend's show. I suppose that people are taking a moment to regroup before the second half of summer begins. That, or fans of Poison have had their fill. I'm sure that there will be a few dedicated fans that will attend both events. They will grab a meal at Festa, then roll over to the Marcus.

Cheap Trick is a humble band worth seeing

According to The Sixth Station, Cheap Trick and Blue Oyster Cult played Beloit Riverfest last weekend. If you are lucky, you can catch Cheap Trick at Summerfest some years. I live a block away from the biggest Cheap Trick fan in Milwaukee. Ron from PushButtonGadget.com follows them religiously.

It's nice to know that there are down-to-earth bands banging out gigs for the normal people who don't have $100 per ticket.
