Rock and Roll legends Joan Jett and the Blackhearts are coming to the ๐ .๐. ๐๐ข๐ซ๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ซ on ๐๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐๐ฒ, ๐๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐๐ญ๐ก! Join them for an incredible night of ROCK!
Having left an indelible stamp on rock โnโ roll forged by anthemic hits, thousands of live performances around the world, and a tireless belief in staying true to yourself, Joan Jett remains driven by the singular power of music. Picking up her first guitar at thirteen years old and starting a career at fifteen, her unmatched perseverance and authenticity still resonate five decades later.
Jett grew up during a time when rock โnโ roll was off limits to girls and women, but with her first band, The Runaways, in 1975, she promptly blew the door to the boysโ club off its hinges. It was the first of many iconoclastic moments in her life, including forming her own independent record label, Blackheart Records, after she was rejected by no less than 23 labels.
Jett remains one of the most beloved and influential artists in popular music, with a fanbase that spans diehards who have been with her from the beginning to little kids who see her as a six-string-wielding superhero. Her influence, legacy and inspiration for anyone struggling with industry stereotypes earned her a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Says Miley Cyrus, who inducted Jett at that ceremony, โSheโs been the first to do many things, and not just as a woman โ but just as a badass being on the planet. There isnโt one other person on this planet thatโs been an inspiration to me like she has.โ
Still relentless in their commitment to live performance, Jett and the Blackhearts continue touring the globe alongside fellow rock legends like The Who, Green Day, and Foo Fighters. The band completed The Stadium Tour with Def Leppard and Motley Crue in 2022, the โSo Happy It Hurtsโ tour with Bryan Adams in 2023, and will be touring with Alanis Morrissette in Summer 2024.
โTo me, itโs really about connection: Musician eyeballs to audience eyeballs,โ Jett says. โYou connect. You see each other. You recognize that vision. You smile. Thereโs contact. Thereโs understanding. I know what youโre talking about and you know what Iโm talking about.โ
โWeโve become so conditioned to measuring our musicโs impact in dollar signs that we can forget what itโs really about: the music,โ she continues. โEmotion. Expression. Giving a voice to those that arenโt satisfied fitting into whatever box they were given. I have lived this rock โnโ roll ethic my entire life, and I am thankful to all those people along the way that let me be me.โ
