I don't see a Dallas date yet. Great live band and celebrating their best LP and one of my top 10 LPs of all time.

I'm pretty sure Metalboy is the corporate sponsor of this tour....,8-P.

[Kevon]

😂!!!! Lets hope for a M3 stop!

[Metalboy!]

Let's snot!

NO to TeslUGH!

NO to either Queensryche!

NO to Night Ranger!

Who wants to see the same bands, especially ones like these, over and over again?

I would even say NO to KIX as I've seen them nearly 40 times but realize that's impossible since this festival is held in the heart of KIX Country.

M3 needs to get REAL headliners. That's really been the problem with M3 for years, probably the last significant headlining line-up containing Scorpions and Cinderella though they came close with the reformation of all living RATT members a few years back.

@Gary thanks for the laugh first thing this morning - as we all know how MB feels about Tesla... How about sponsored by METALBOY in big chrome letters ..

[Metalboy!]

Haha!! You guys may very well be right... TeslUGH! may be the new KIX at M3, a perennial band of roaches who won't go away!

[Kevon]

THE MIGHTY TESLA IN CHROME LETTERS were not there last year, they are due baby!!!! Dokken reunited would be a good headliner. RATT minus Blotz would be great also or like I said before STRYPER doing TO HELL WITH THE DEVIL would be sweet!

[Metalboy!]

Agree with all, Kevon, except, of course, TeslUGH! in rusty OLD letters!

There's a reason they didn't play last year and THAT reason remains -- THEY SUCK!!!

[Laura]

Yes!!! Just what I've been hoping for. As much as I would like to see Lep (and, to a lesser extent, Styx and/or REO), I've felt I'd rather see Tesla as a headliner/in a smaller venue.

Funny enough, I don't totally _love_ or _get_ Tesla, but they're about the top of my list for 80s hard rock bands I've gotta see live. I adore blues-influenced music above all else, but I haven't been able to dig into them the way I have several other contemporaries. So why the excitement? My three favorite songs of theirs completely, utterly do me in, is what. Looking forward to hearing 'em live, hopefully all three tunes and maybe a handful more that I can groove on.
