Join Black Stone Cherry as they perform songs for the first time from their upcoming new album “Human Condition.” Recorded live from the SkyPac stage in Bowling Green, KY, expect an electrifying evening full of your favorite BSC songs and new soon-to-be classics.

In sleepy Edmonton, music for high school friends Chris Robertson and Jon Lawhon was their one and only. Both come from very musical families, so it was close to the fact that the two only 16-year-old founded a band in 2001. Black Stone Cherry make traditional Southern Rock with modern elements, a sound that they master in perfection. Their current Album Family Tree is considered the best Southern Rock album of recent years. The four successful musicians from Kentucky have their Wacken premiere this year.

A real treat for all fans of Southern rock vibes! Black Stone Cherry is a band flawlessly blending rock and blues in a unique mixture to create an authentic, yet innovative Southern rock sound. They will be performing on the Main Stage on August the 1st.

Formed in Kentucky by four friends at the dawn of the new millennium, Black Stone Cherry originally started playing music to escape the boredom of rural Edmonton, Kentucky. They were an instant sensation on the local rock scene and before long the hard rock quartet attracted the attention of the bigger labels. Their self-titled debut dropped in 2006 and they haven’t looked back since. BSC have been busy since their last appearance (GMM2015). Apart from ‘Black to Blues’, an EP that gives a number of blues classics a BSC makeover, there is also their 5th studio album ‘Kentucky’ (2016). Whereas Magic Mountain (2014) was somewhat heavier than its predecessors, ‘Kentucky’ is more versatile and showcases the full spectrum of Black Stone Cherry’s songwriting abilities. Their brand of hard rock is flavoured with southern rock. If you’re into no-holds-barred hard rock with heavy riffs and catchy choruses and you dig the occasional ballad, then Black Stone Cherry will do the trick.
