Dokken Takes Over Downtown Joliet Tonight

JOLIET, IL - Decades from now, people who study the history of Joliet will remember April 20, 2018. Why? Because that was the day when Dokken came to town. OK, we might be over exaggerating. But maybe not. We'll know after tonight. So, if you see legions of headbangers roaming the downtown streets of Joliet around 7 p.m. tonight, don't be alarmed. They come in peace. They're on their way to see Dokken and Lita Ford perform at the Rialto Square Theatre.

As of last week, the Rialto had sold about 600 tickets for the show, which is not expected to be a sellout. However, the Rialto said that plenty of great seats for the April 20 concert remain available. People who show up at the concert to purchase walk-up seats can save themselves several dollars by avoiding the online ticket surcharges.

The cheapest seats are $28.50. Medium priced tickets are $34.50. The most expensive seats are $49.50.

These days, Dokken consists Don Dokken (vocals), Mick Brown (drums), Jon Levin (guitar) and Chris McCarvill (bass).

As for Lita Ford, some of her most famous hits included "Close Your Eyes Forever," as well as "What Do You Know About Love," "Shot Of Poison," "Larger Than Life" and "Kiss Me Deadly."

Downtread will be joining the lineup for the Joliet show.
