Featuring music from THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE: THE SOUNDTRACK: THE REFORMATTED EDITION performed live by KNIGHTS OF UNICRON, along with a special performance of “The Touch” by Stan Bush, the concert pays tribute to the soundtrack that helped turn an animated movie into a cultural touchstone for generations of fans.
They are joined by a powerhouse lineup of fan-favorite acts, including Vince DiCola, whose legendary score helped define the sound and spirit of THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE; COLD SLITHER, tearing in with their loud, lawless sound straight from the world of G.I. Joe; and Britta Phillips, the original singing voice of Jem from Jem And The Holograms, serving up all the glitter, glam, and truly outrageous pop fans could ask for. Together, they’ll crank the volume on a one-night-only celebration of Hasbro music and fandom that’s truly... More Than Meets the Eye. Fans can also shop limited-edition, show-only merchandise. Tickets and VIP packages are available now here.
