Band will play hit 1976 album with an orchestra and a choir in six U.S. cities.

32 years ago, Def Leppard brought their World Tour to Portland. It was a 360° white-hot show filled with Pyromania and Hysteria hits and wicked killer lasers on an in-the-round stage.

Band will perform on a glass-bottom boat off the coast of Australia.

Thankfully, a recording of this memorable absolutely rocking moment in time is posted on YouTube. Even better, the sound quality is good. Let's listen while it's still there.

41 years ago today, the Electric Light Orchestra landed their sonic spaceship in Blimpville for a sold-out show at the Civic Center. This was their only appearance in Portland, Maine, ever.

The former bandmates had a rare performance together at the Hollywood Bowl.

39 years ago today, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band came to Portland and rocked a capacity crowd at the Civic Center. Against the Wind had been out since February of that year and remains Seger’s only Number 1 album ever.

Seven U.S. shows announced for January, with more to follow.

Legend has it that Bruce Springsteen's first show in Maine was at a little college in Houlton in 1973. This was 2 years before he became a superstar with Born to Run. We love that he really went the distance and played the 'County'.

What a great summer of rock we had in Blimpville! The good news is that October...excuse me...Rocktober...looks great too! Keep listening to the Blimp to win tickets and more to all of these shows!
