An Actual All-Glam Festival Is Happening This Summer

There's no mish-mash of styles here! Masquerade 2022 is all glam, all the time. The three-day festival is scheduled for July 28, 29, 30 in Philadelphia, PA at 2300 Arena. Some of the bands set to perform are Autograph, Killer Dwarfs, Pretty Boy Floyd, Hurricane, Steven Adler, Babylon Shakes and loads more. Another cool thing about this event is that dressing up is encouraged... hence the name of the event!

A drawback is that ticket prices seem high. The 3-day VIP is nearly $800 for a pair. Of course, everything is expensive now so maybe that's just average. You do have to wonder when music fans will say enough is enough and stop paying egregious prices to get into shows. At least this is a ton of bands over three days. There are plenty of shows going for $800 a pair for one band on one night. Insanity!

Farewell Randy Rand

This is sad news that I didn't see until this morning. Randy Rand, founding bass player for Autograph, has passed. No cause of death has been released but the statement from Autograph below does note the news was "unexpected." "Turn Up The Radio" remains one of my favorite songs!

Rest In Peace Randy Rand. pic.twitter.com/8yKIQt1CJG
