Tilt your head back and howl into the South Dakota sky as platinum-certified heavy metal outfit Bad Wolves deliver an evening of unapologetic hard rock on Friday, Aug. 2 during the Buffalo Chip’s Official Sturgis Rally Kickoff Party.

The LA-based quintet’s unpredictable metallic intensity and impressive instrumental proficiency will shine as bright as the full moon as they perform hits such as “Killing Me Slowly,” “Remember When,” “Sober” and their haunting cover of The Cranberries’ “Zombie.”

Feel the heat as hard rockers Leaving Hope set the stage ablaze during the Buffalo Chip’s Official Sturgis Rally Kickoff Party.

This Minneapolis-based five piece beat out countless other acts to win the 2024 Sturgis Battle of the Bands, and you’ll see why when they bring their unique influences together for a powerful, electrifying performance to the Best Party Anywhere.

Experience their thunderous drums and bass, punchy, screaming guitars, powerful vocals and in the amphitheater on Friday, Aug. 2.

Then join them for an encore performance at Bikini Beach the following night at midnight.
