The wait is finally over and MGK's Big Gig is here - today (8/13) we rock to Styx, REO Speedwagon and Loverboy at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden!
Before you get set to head down to the show, here are 5 things you'll need (or want!) to know (wow, nice rhyme):
1. Tickets Are Available Starting Under $30

Considering the number of hit songs these three bands have accumulated combined, this is a really good value in these days of "dynamic pricing." It comes out to ten bucks a band!
2. Gates Open At 5:30pm

This gives you plenty of time to find your parking spot, set up a tailgate if you choose, and come on in to be ready for the opening act, Loverboy! They take the stage, and get the show started (after a John DeBella introduction!) at 7.
3. The Weather Forecast Looks Perfect!

Rare is the day in August you'll get a forecast like this. The call is for lots of sun, a high of just 81 and LOW humidity!
4. Freedom Mortgage Pavilion Now Allows Clear Bags On Entry
According to their website, they'll let you in with small clutch bags and CLEAR tote-style bags that are, as they say, "slightly larger" than a tote bag. No other type of bag is allowed in.
5. Stop By Our Live Broadcast With Matt Cord (and all of us!)

Matt will be live from the Walt Whitman-side lobby (look for the MGK tent - you cannot miss it!) from 4-7, and John, Tony and I will surely be hanging by the broadcast booth as well.
Look forward to seeing you tomorrow at our Big Gig!!
