Lady Luck never smiles, but KBAD Radio owner Chuck Brennan does! He’s giving away 600 tickets to his Sioux Falls listeners to hear these huge 80s rockers… in Minneapolis, Des Moines, and Lincoln:
Win Tickets to See Def Leppard, Poison and Tesla
If you thought our Metallica giveaway was huge, get a load of this.
Def Leppard, Poison and Tesla are part of the KBAD Family!
Starting Monday January 30th, we’re sending listeners on a spring road trip with our family.
We’re giving away 600 tickets to see the bands in Minneapolis, Des Moines and Lincoln! 200 to each show and the listeners/winners get to choose their destination!
KBAD will also throw a listener party where they can win seats on the party bus to and from the show [KBAD e-mail to listeners, 2017.01.19].
What? Is Chuck just trying to keep folks from spending their hard-rocking dollars in Sioux Falls to South Dakota for capping interest rates on payday loans at 36%? Chuck Brennan would never be that petty, would he? Besides, Minnesota, Iowa, and Nebraska have their own limits on payday lending.
Nosebleed seats for Def Leppard in Sioux Falls start at $49–$50.
This looks like exactly the sort of long-haired hippies we don’t want coming to South Dakota. That fellow looks as much like a purveyor of the demon weed as I’ve ever seen.
So newbee Christian Brennan is now into promoting dysfuctional music, but then everything he has been involved with for years has dysfunction written all over it.
I checked KBAD’s Facebook post regarding this “road trip”, and some people are asking why they can’t just send winners to the Premier Center. All the staff responses are among the lines of “it’s more fun to go out of town on a road trip”.
I don’t understand this. KBAD wanted to be a true live-and-local radio station, so it would make more sense to just send them to the Premier Center.
Eventually, KBAD will be sold to new owners. Once it’s out of Chuck’s hands, it’s future is unknown. Will it stay live-and-local, change format, or become automated like the other two rock stations? Will it become another VCY America station? Who knows.
This is Brennan sticking it to the Premier Center and Sioux Falls. Not all of his 600 winners would have bought tickets in Sioux Falls, but a good number of them would have. For those who don’t win these tickets, it’s not Too Late to buy tickets for the Sioux Falls show.

50 something years old and still rockin to Def Leppard and other big hair bands…its always fun to pull up to some young kids at a stop light and crank the ACDC allllll the way up….
The big hair bands of the ’80s sucked. Age certainly hasn’t helped this genre.
The great irony is that most winners of the tickets, would need to go to dollar loan center to get the money to make the trip. Which they no longer can do!
Ah, come on, Scott, there’s got to be some fellow refugee from the ’80s with whom winners could catch a ride. Neighbors helping neighbors—that’s how we adapt to the post-payday-loan world. IM 21 was really about rebuilding community, restoring ties that Chuck Brennan and Rod Aycox worked to unravel.
