For more than four decades, Night Ranger has been a cornerstone of American arena rock, delivering unforgettable hooks, powerhouse performances, and anthems that still resonate with fans old and new. On Saturday, July 18, 2026, the multi-platinum legends are bringing their signature blend of melodic hard rock to the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Maryland Heights, MO (just outside St. Louis).
The show, presented by Weber Chevrolet and KSHE-95, features local favorites El Monstero — the definitive U.S. Pink Floyd tribute experience known for their ambitious, theatrical productions — opening the night. Doors open at 6:00 PM with the show starting at 7:30 PM. Tickets are on sale now starting at $35.
Emerging from the vibrant California rock scene in the early 1980s, Night Ranger quickly made their mark with high-energy live shows and radio-ready hits. The band’s classic lineup — featuring the dynamic twin-guitar attack of Brad Gillis and Jeff Watson, the soaring vocals and bass of Jack Blades, keyboardist Alan “Fitz” Fitzgerald, and drummer Kelly Keagy — defined an era of melodic yet hard-hitting rock.
Fans can expect a set packed with timeless anthems, including:
- “Sister Christian” — the emotional power ballad that became a cultural touchstone.
- “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me” — their breakthrough rocker.
- “When You Close Your Eyes” — a soaring melodic gem.
- “(You Can Still) Rock in America” — the ultimate fist-pumping celebration of rock ‘n’ roll.
Night Ranger remains a relentless live force, known for electrifying performances full of classic fan favorites, rich harmonies, and the kind of musicianship that only comes from years on the road.
The St. Louis stop arrives at an exciting time for the band. Night Ranger is preparing to release their new ‘Best Of’ album on August 28, 2026, via Frontiers Music Srl. The collection includes newly remixed and remastered versions of their biggest hits alongside standout tracks from their acclaimed output over the last 20 years. It’s a perfect celebration of both their storied legacy and ongoing evolution as one of rock’s most enduring acts.
Pre-orders are already live, giving fans a chance to own refreshed versions of the songs that defined a generation.
Whether you’re a longtime fan who grew up blasting Dawn Patrol or a newer convert discovering their catalog, this is a prime opportunity to experience Night Ranger’s high-octane live show in an amphitheatre setting perfect for summer nights in St. Louis. With El Monstero kicking things off with a Pink Floyd spectacle, it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable evening of rock history.
