The Big E Has Had Some Amazing Classic Rockers Perform Over the Years
I remember years ago seeing Lynyrd Skynyrd at The Big E. It was a fantastic show and my first of a few times seeing the classic rockers. Another artist I was glad to see at The Big E about 10-11 years ago was Ace Frehley. Being a huge Kiss fan, I was thrilled to hear a mix of Ace solo songs and Kiss songs. The really cool thing was that Ace and his band performed some Kiss rarities and some songs that Kiss never performed live. That's a big treat for a Kiss fan.
Big Name Classic Rockers Perform at The Big E This October
Speaking of classic rock bands performing at The Big E, another group is coming to the West Springfield Venue on October 4, and that group is Styx. Styx is another band I have seen perform live a couple of times, and they are always spot on. Yes, Dennis DeYoung is long gone from the band, but you don't really notice he's missing; that's how good this rendition of Styx is live. Styx will be at The Big E on October 4.
Other big-name acts coming to The Big E include the following:
- Roger Daltrey – September 20, 2026
- Alice Cooper – September 20, 2026
- The Beach Boys – September 24, 2026
- Great White – September 29, 2026
Get your calendar out because there is plenty of entertainment to go around this fall.
