BROOKLYN,
Mich. -- NASCAR fans will be treated to live
entertainment in the New Holland Fan Plaza throughout
the June race weekend at Michigan International Speedway.
The
headlining musical entertainment act on Saturday night
is “Majestic,” a tribute band to the ever-popular,
late 70’s, early 80’s sensation, Journey.
Majestic is scheduled to hit the stage around 6:20 p.m.
Saturday.
Before
Majestic’s inception six years ago, members formed
a band named “Harlow” in 1980, until they
were asked to play as a Journey tribute band. Since then,
Majestic has transformed its show into a full Journey
tribute, complete with costume and choreography.
Having
performed at many Ohio fairs and festivals for over a
quarter of the century, this will be Majestic’s
first appearance at Michigan International Speedway.
Opening
for Majestic will be crowd favorite cover band, “The
River,” who has played numerous times at MIS and
developed a huge local following, especially from the
track’s infield crowd. The River will play right
after the checkered flag for the NASCAR Camping World
Truck Series race, around 4:30 p.m.
The
Saturday schedule includes (times are approximate):
4:30
p.m. The River
6 p.m. Intermission
6:20 p.m. Majestic

Moving the June, Saturday night concert from the speedway’s
Lot 10 to the New Holland Fan Plaza area will allow more
race fans to experience live entertainment at MIS. Past
concerts have required a Saturday event ticket, yet many
of the campers at MIS and surrounding private campgrounds
don’t purchase Saturday tickets.
“This
broadens our entertainment lineup throughout the weekend
and allows all fans in the area the chance to come out
see some live bands in the New Holland Fan Display,”
speedway President Roger Curtis said. “We’re
bringing a focus on live entertainment back to the fan
display and are excited that Majestic and The River are
just two of the bands that have agreed to play for us.”
There
will be bands playing in the New Holland Fan Plaza on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, starting as early at 9 a.m.
each day. A full lineup will be posted on MISpeedway.com.
