The Rock Gods

The Rock Gods are playing the Star Pavilion at Ameristar Casino Hotel on Saturday, October 24, starting at 8:30 PM. They're a Kansas City tribute act, and the whole show is built around a cast of musicians and impersonators who step into the roles of rock and roll's most iconic stars. They don't just cover the songs; they wear the costumes and aim for the original sounds, so you'll see different figures taking the stage throughout the night.

Their repertoire pulls from a long list of hard rock and classic rock names. Van Halen, Def Leppard, Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, Ozzy, Kiss, AC/DC, Alice Cooper, Motley Crüe, and Poison are all in the mix, with more added on top. It's a broad sweep of the era, and the set moves across hard rock, hair metal, 80s, and classic rock, so you'll hear a good range of those styles in one go.

Because the show is built around a cast of musicians and impersonators, it's a bit more than a standard cover set. The costumes and the sounds are meant to replicate the original acts, so the focus is on the look and feel of the bands they're paying tribute to. It's a Kansas City act playing a Kansas City room, and the set covers a lot of ground across the hard rock and hair metal landscape.

Tickets start at $32.20, and the show kicks off at 8:30 PM at the Star Pavilion inside the Ameristar Casino Hotel, 3200 Ameristar Dr, Kansas City, MO 64161.
