Fantasy Springs brings back tribute acts and more for free starting tonight
If ticket fees and inflation are keeping you from going out to see live music, Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio has something that might be of interest: free concerts on its revamped Rock Yard outdoor stage.
The series, which is open to those 18 or older, features dozens of tribute acts and kicks off tonight with Don’t Stop Believing, a tribute to Journey.
There are also tributes to Metallica, Fleetwood Mac, Beastie Boys and many more on the horizon, plus Rock Yard on Steroids nights that have included acts like Puddle of Mudd and Danny Seraphine of Chicago.
All concerts run 7:30 p.m.12:30 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays. The bars offer weekly beer and cocktail specials that are often themed to the performing artists.
Here are the acts in the series in March and April. The casino will add more dates in the coming months.
