See Journey and Heart with "Open Arms"

Are you a small town girl or a city boy? Take the midnight train to the Kentucky State Fair to see an oldies rock lineup that never gets old.

Rock legend Journey will share the stage with special guest Heart on August 21 at Freedom Hall as part of the Kentucky State Fair Main Stage Concert Series. Tickets cost $50 and $55 and will go on sale June 22 at 10 a.m. The price includes admission to the Kentucky State Fair and a facility fee.

Belt out Top 40 power ballads like “Faithfully,” “Open Arms” and “Any Way You Want It,” with the band live in concert, instead of your usual one-man or woman, car jam sessions.

According to USA Today the band is the fifth best rock band in American history. And “Don’t Stop Believing” is the top-selling catalog track in iTunes history, surpassing over 2 million downloads in 2008.

Starting in the early 70s in San Francisco, Journey has evolved from local band to star-studded phenomenon, and the changing faces behind the music have kept with the style of Journey’s rock attitude. Journey truly spans the decades. From those that grew up listening to 8-tracks, to the next generation of iPod users, families and fans alike will rock out to the legendary sounds of the commercially successful Journey.

The sister act of Heart will bring back memories of the 70s with songs like “Barracuda” and “Crazy on You.” Ann and Nancy Wilson have sold over 30 million records and had 21 Top 40 hits. After a successful career the sisters took a break in the late 90s to pursue individual goals. Nancy married director Cameron Crowe, who created such successful movies as, “Jerry Maguire,” “Elizabethtown” and Academy Award-winning “Almost Famous.” The sisters reunited and began touring after the release of their comeback album, “Jupiter’s Darling” in 2004.

Stars will collide at the Kentucky State Fair, so be good to yourself and buy tickets to see these rock legends.
