Get the Led Out: A Celebration of “The Mighty Zep”
Friday, August 19
Gates open at 6 p.m. Show at 8 p.m.
Tickets: $12 through May 31, $22 starting June 1
LISTEN TO US. No, put down that Zeppelin vinyl and listen to us. If you don’t get your tickets ASAP for this unbelievable tribute show, you just might not be going. Get The Led Out always sells out their annual late August concert at RiverEdge, and it will be no different this year. It almost feels wrong to call them a tribute band. From the bombastic and epic, to the folky and mystical, Get the Led Out recreates The Mighty Zep’s unbelievable catalog of songs into a concert that’s as much their own as it is Led Zeppelin’s. gtlorocks.com

TUSK is the number one tribute to Fleetwood Mac in the world, bar none.

Authentic-sounding and always respectful, TUSK covers all the top hits of Fleetwood Mac, from “Go Your Own Way” to “Rhiannon,” leaving no stone unturned in replicating the sounds of one of the world’s best-loved, top-selling bands. fleetwoodmactribute.com
