Headliner: Hinder
On the Menke & Co. Stage
Hinder’s story begins in 2001, when Cody Hanson (drums), Joe “Blower” Garvey (lead guitar), and Mike Rodden (bass) met and activated their musical chemistry. The 2005 hit “Lips of an Angel” from the band’s debut album Extreme Behavior, since certified 3x Platinum, topped the charts and remains a radio mainstay. Powerful lead vocalist Marshal Dutton joined them in 2015. Throughout their discography, Hinder has embodied an ethos of defiance and tenacity through gutsy lyrics, rousing melodies, and soaring choruses. Each album in their musical journey has reflected a progression, from the grittier early days of Take It to the Limit to the more introspective and exploratory energy of 2017’s The Reign.
Hinder emerges from the storm more focused and resilient than ever. With a renewed sense of purpose and drive, and still never afraid to take risks, Hinder is poised to continue forging its legacy as one of rock’s most enduring and dynamic bands. The band members’ resilience and adaptability have kept them at the forefront of the modern rock scene for nearly two decades, and they will continue—in fact, they’re just getting started…
Their newest album, Back to Life, is out now.

Opener: Paralandra
On the Menke & Co. Stage
Since their 2013 inception, Paralandra has hit the ground running. 2014’s “Rise Up” launched the band into the forefront of the music scene attracting the attention of Legend Recordings. Under the umbrella of Legend, they have released multiple singles including “All Fall Down” and “Ascension.” Their stand alone single “Love Will Win” spawned a legion of new fans and has become an anthem for all. Entrusting world renowned producer Elvis Baskette with their latest album “Street Magic” singles are racing up the billboard chart including “Despicable” and “For The Record.” While both are seeing tremendous streaming success, “For The Record” has surpassed one million views and streams with no end in site.
Paralandra has been privileged to be invited to and performed at numerous festivals including Rocklahoma, Dirtfest, Rock Fest, NAMM, SXSW, and the KISS Kruise. Nationally, they have supported Yngwie Malmsteen, Tantric, Saliva, Alter Bridge, Disturbed and Breaking Benjamin to name a few.
