The Counting Crows are coming “Round Here” to headline the Miller Lite Carb Day Concert on Friday, May 22.
The Grammy and Academy Award-nominated rock band will be joined by special guest Switchfoot, who will open the show.
Carb Day is a full day of action and entertainment at Indianapolis Motor Speedway ahead of the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, May 24.
All general admission, concert pit, and VIP Deck concert tickets include admission to the concert and to on-track activities that day at IMS, which include the final practice for the Indianapolis 500, the second annual Oscar Mayer Wienie 500, and the Indy 500 Pit Stop Challenge.
“From 33 drivers speeding around the track in the final ‘500’ practice to the Wienie 500 and Pit Stop Challenge, there is no shortage of on-track action leading into a legendary rock concert in Turn 3. It’s a day like no other at the Racing Capital of the World, and many of our fans take the day off work to spend it at IMS, a tradition we can all celebrate,” IMS President Doug Boles said in a statement.
Miller Lite Carb Day general admission tickets start at $50. A limited number of concert pit package upgrades that include general admission are available for $90.
A small number of exclusive VIP platform tickets are available for $285 and include concert pit access, snacks, two free drinks, dedicated bars, and restroom trailers.
