(Daily Times Ocean City) Bret MIchaels rocked his way across the Billboard charts as part of the band Poison, glam metal's biggest act in the '80s and '90s. Come September, Ocean City officials said today, he'll bring his musical tour to Sunfest as this year's headlining performer.
Tickets will go on sale Friday, April 1 for Michaels's Saturday, Sept. 24 show, and for country star Jamey Johnson, who takes the stage Friday, Sept. 23.
Tickets also will go on sale for Linwood Peel’s Tribute to the Drifters, Cornell Gunter’s Coasters and the Del Vikings, who will headline Thursday, Sept. 22.
As front man for Poison, Michaels has sold 25 million records and scored 15 chartbusting Top 40 singles including "Something to Believe In," "Nothing But a Good Time" and the every-DJ's-gotta-have-it "Every Rose Has its Thorn." Tickets range from $25 to $55.
Tickets for Johnson's show will cost $20 to $40; tickets for the Thursday performances will cost $10 to $25.
Tickets for all three shows will be sold at the Ocean City Convention Center Box Office on 40th St. in Ocean City beginning at 10 a.m. Friday. Box office hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
