Single-Day & Three-Day Tickets On Sale Now
AUSTIN, TEXAS (January 12, 2014) Circuit of The Americas (COTA) is excited to announce that Cheap Trick will be entertaining fans with a post-race performance at the Austin360 Amphitheater on Sunday, April 12 of the 2015 MotoGP Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas. Tickets to the fourth annual motorcycle racing World Championship event taking place April 10–12 at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas, are on sale now at www.circuitoftheamericas.com and at www.ticketmaster.com.
With over 5,000 performances spanning four decades and twenty million records sold worldwide, Cheap Trick is undoubtedly one of the most influential classic rock groups of the past fifty years. The band was formed in 1974 and while it has evolved throughout the years, Cheap Trick has continued to reach mainstream and critical success. Hits such as “I Want You To Want Me,” “Dream Police,” and “Surrender” have cemented the group as one of America’s top rock Œn’ roll bands of all time.
Beyond the music entertainment at the Austin360 Amphitheater, there will be a variety of family-friendly activities for guests to enjoy including a chance to see rare and one-of-a-kind memorabilia from motorcycle legend Evel Knievel. The collection, which had been scattered around the world for years, will include Knievel’s motorcycles, helmets and riding leathers, never-before-seen photographs and even x-rays of Evel’s broken and pinned bones. It’s the only collection of its kind, cobbled up on the workbench of innovation and fearlessness and pursued with an undaunted attitude reminiscent of the most notorious daredevil of the twentieth century-Evel Knievel.
Circuit of The Americas will also welcome the return of the second annual Handbuilt Motorcycle Show in downtown Austin, set to coincide with the grand prix weekend. Presented by Revival Cycles, an Austin-based custom motorcycle shop, the FREE custom motorcycle and motorcycle-centric art showcase will feature more than 110 wildly different custom and rare machines from world-famous craftsmen such as Roland Sands, Shinya Kimura, and Walt Siegl, and more. The show will take place on April 11 and 12 at Fair Market at 1100 E. Fifth St. Please visit www.handbuiltmotorcycleshow.com for details and updates.
