Inaugural Rock the Castle
GREAT WHITE – SLAUGHTER – QUIET RIOT
Set for Saturday, July 11, 2026, at Castle Ridge

Centralia, IL – Castle Ridge will launch a new annual rock tradition this summer with the Inaugural Rock the Castle on Saturday, July 11, 2026, featuring Great White, Slaughter, and Quiet Riot. The event will bring together three of the biggest and most influential bands of the 1980s for one unforgettable night of pure rock and roll. This epic triple-bill marks the beginning of what organizers say will become an annual summertime rock tradition at the lakeside Castle Ridge venue.

Gates open at 5:30 PM. Show begins at 7:00 PM Central.

“This is more than a concert. This is the birth of a tradition,” said Heath Eric, President & CEO of The Eric Group. “Rock the Castle is about legendary bands, massive songs, and an atmosphere you simply cannot recreate anywhere else. Castle Ridge was built for moments like this. We’re bringing arena-level rock to Castle Ridge – loud and relentless. This isn’t nostalgia. This is rock and roll at full volume. Castle Ridge will shake on July 11.”
