The massive Stugis Bike Week is a 65 year American tradition for motorcycle fans but this year you can get yer motor runnin' and rock out, too.

A new concert series, Rock'n The Rally, will present Aerosmith, Sammy Hagar, Big & Rich, Keith Urban, Steve Miller, Cheap Trick, Steppenwolf, Fabulous Thunderbirds, REO Speedwagon, .38 Special, Foghat, Georgia Satellites, Greg Rollie, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Shooter Jennings and others in Sturgis, S.D., August 6-10.

The concerts will take place in a 34-acre natural grass amphitheatre that will seat tens of thousands.

Ticket prices range from $50 to $70, and go on sale March 10 at www.starticketsplus.com.

Construction on the Rock'n The Rally site began last September at the Glencoe Camp Resort. Glencoe owner Gary Lippold, along with festival producers Dork Fish Inc., have planned the Rock'n The Rally as an annual event.

"We took the reverse view of the 'build it and they will come' theory," Dork Fish's Mark Russo said. "We figured, 600,000 people attend Sturgis Bike Week each year, let's build it where they already are."

This will be the first year that a stand-alone festival coincides with motorcycle extravaganza, which runs from August 7th through the 13th.

"We are providing a safe, modern, and expansive venue with a full line-up each day of world-class acts that appeal to the Bike Rally's audience," property owner Gary Lippold said.

"For 66 years, Sturgis Bike Week has been a celebration of independence and freedom, the sameconcepts that define Rock 'n Roll. We're adding a new music festival to Bike Week in a classy way ... to give our guests a great concert experience."
