During the Pitt game they had Dallas Clark on the big screen stating a major concert announcement for 2016 will come next Saturday. The concert will be in Kinnick stadium. Times are changing.

My wife and myself just saw AC/DC at Wrigley field last week and that was awesome. Hearing just returning to "normal".
 
Trying to figure out who it might be....Dallas Clark's video said "this is going to be epic" and also "Iowans love Iowans, and Iowans love a good time"....Only Iowa ties I can think of that remotely resemble "epic" is the guy from Weezer, Aerosmith (Steven Tyler's son in law is from Iowa), and of course Slipknot (or another band any of those guys are tied to). Probably missing some country musicians.

Dallas Clark is well known for his ties/friends to a Wisconsin cover band called Vic Ferrari, whom have played annually in Livermore, his hometown, and more than a few times in Fort Dodge area (probably elsewhere in state as well)...but he does have connections in music world...I'm liking the tease, but coming up short on bands that are Epic that could play Kinnick, with Iowa ties....of course it's wide open if you take away Iowa connections... They said more to follow at this week's game!

PS Westender....envious of your attending AC/DC at Wrigley, awesome show I heard!

I don't think it will necessarily be Iowa musicians. The concert is to benefit a charity that will help Iowans after a disaster, etc. So I think that is the "iowans love iowans" part comes in during Clark's video. Sounds like multiple musicians also. Will be interesting whether it is a country fest or some rock musicians.
 
Not sure I would consider it epic, but Nate Ruess of the band Fun. was born in Iowa City. They are relatively big.

I really, really, really hope it's not country.

Yes, that's who I was trying to think of and couldn't remember... Possibly...but I didn't realize what Westender just said about a benefit type concert, so yes, that possibly could eliminate the whole "Iowa tie" thing as a clue.
 
Les Claypool married an "Iowa Gal" from Iowa City, didn't he? Primus would be awesome in my opinion, but probably not the "epic" they are referring to. (Besides, Primus sucks)

You and me freakin both.

By the way. SLIPKNOT is like Iowa as ****. Not that the old grannies would ever allow it in kinnick but if you ever want an Iowa band that would definitely be the one.

Who doesn't love the catchy hooks and beautiful melodies of Slipknot? Very musical.
