Bret Michaels Tickets: Palace Theatre Greensburg Show Details
Michaels, a Butler, Pennsylvania native, performed at the NFL Draft earlier in 2026 before adding this Greensburg date. As Poison’s lead singer, guitarist and songwriter, he built the band’s catalog around hits such as “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” which reached No. 1 on the Billboard chart, along with top-10 songs “Unskinny Bop” and “Talk Dirty to Me.”
Poison put out three albums in the 1980s that each achieved multi-platinum sales status. Michaels later expanded his profile beyond music through an appearance on VH1’s reality dating series “Rock of Love” during the 2000s.
Donors to the Westmoreland Cultural Trust get first access to tickets through a presale starting Friday at 10 a.m., ahead of the general on-sale that begins Monday at 10 a.m. Fans can find purchasing details at westmorelandculturaltrust.org.
Gene Simmons Band Tickets: Rivers Casino Event Center Show Details
At 77 years old, Simmons remains recognized for the theatrical stage presence he’s brought to Kiss throughout his career as the band’s bassist, singer and songwriter. The March 12 performance at the Rivers Casino Event Center is billed to draw from decades of Simmons’ and Kiss’s catalog.
Kiss placed 24 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 over the years, among them “Beth,” “Detroit Rock City,” “Forever” and “I Was Made for Lovin’ You.” The band entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014 and was honored with the Kennedy Center Honors in 2025, and it holds the distinction of the most RIAA Gold-certified albums of any American band, with 30 total.
Tickets for the Rivers Casino Event Center show are currently available for purchase, starting at $49, through riverscasino.com.
