Fundraising event, "Annual Suits that Rock," for arts education, set to take place at MegaCorp Pavilion in September 20.

On Saturday, September 20, the 18th annual Suits that Rock concert will take place at the MegaCorp Pavilion at OVATION in Newport. This highly-anticipated event pays homage to the Cincinnati label company, King Records, founded by Syd Nathan in 1943.

The concert, which consistently raises the bar each year in terms of success and quality, will feature a star-studded lineup of performers. Among them are returning artists such as Olivia Amlung, Sheila Baker, Tom Bosse, and many more, as well as the "Guest Suits" who did not appear in 2020: Mauricio Acosta, Ben Lehman, Randy Marksberry, Rachel Strunk, and John Vitucci.

The concert will also showcase performances by CEOs and community leaders, and the songs performed will reflect King Records' impact on Cincinnati's history and music culture.

The funds raised during the event will make art accessible for local students and youth through in-school programming, workshops, and more. In fact, Suits that Rock has raised nearly 2 million for area youth since its inception, enabling over 100,000 hours of arts education.

Doors to the event will open at 6:30 p.m., with the concert beginning at 7:30 p.m. Ticket holders with value and lawn seats should be aware that in case of inclement weather, they will be relocated to standing room only. Chairs are not permitted for lawn seats, but blankets are welcome.

Regular tickets for the event are $80, value tickets are $60, and lawn seats are available for $30. Tickets can be purchased online at thecarnegie.com.

Parking for Suits that Rock is available on the riverfront in Newport, and MegaCorp Pavilion offers an on-site parking garage, which is free for event attendees.

Join us for an unforgettable night of music, community, and celebration of Cincinnati's rich musical history at the 18th annual Suits that Rock concert. Let's rock together to support our local youth and arts education!
