Pearcy and DeMartini join Rock the DAM 8 lineup with Ratt and Slaughter
An unexpected scheduling conflict has led to Vince Neil no longer performing at Rock the DAM 8 on July 26 at the Beaver Dam Amphitheater. Instead, Pearcy & DeMartini performing RATT and Slaughter have been added to the festival lineup, joining LA Guns, Vixen, and SteelHeart.
Rock the DAM 8, a part of the First United Bank & Trust 2025 Concert Series, will commence with gates opening at 3 p.m. for the pre-show Corral Stage featuring Red Voodoo. The main seating area will open at 5 p.m., with the festival officially starting at 6:15 p.m. Fans in the pre-show corral will have the first access to the seating area.
“We will miss Vince this year, but unforeseen circumstances happen,” said Heath Eric, the promoter with The Eric Group. “We hope to bring him back for a future date. However, we worked hard to fill his spot with top-notch acts to enhance the event and provide an exceptional experience for fans. This year’s Rock the DAM promises to be the biggest and most exciting yet.”
The iconic duo of Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini from RATT, known for their influential ’80s hard rock sound, have reunited as Pearcy | DeMartini. Their music defined an era, with RATT becoming one of the biggest rock acts of the mid-’80s, headlining arena tours and selling platinum records. Now, with an all-star lineup including Carlos Cavazo, Blas Elias, and Matt Thorne, they are reigniting that iconic fire.
“Never say never, right? When the idea of working with Warren came up, it was a no-brainer. It’s time to bring Pearcy | DeMartini back to the stage,” Pearcy remarked excitedly. DeMartini added, “I am thrilled to perform for the fans and bring back these iconic songs.”
Slaughter, emerging in 1990, made a powerful impact on the rock scene with their high-energy sound and dynamic performances. Hits like “Up All Night” and “Fly to the Angels” showcased their musical range and power, earning them a reputation for delivering captivating live shows.
