LISTEN: Former Sonic Band Of The Month Was First Band To Ever Play At Rogers Place

Tomorrow night Keith Urban plays a big concert at Rogers Place. Most people think its the first concert in the new arena….and most people would be wrong. Turns out Former Band Of The Month White Lightning were actually first!! They played a show there a couple weeks ago (September 2nd) for a couple hundred people (mostly arena staff and concert promoters). It was done to test the stage setup in the building as well as the lighting and sound systems. Makes sense, as they need to make sure everything works before the first massive concert.

Sure, Keith Urban will be the first to play with a paying, sold out crowd….but White Lighting were technically first to grace the stage and that is something you can never take away from them. Frontman Steve Bosch talks with Sonic about how it all came about, and what a concert sounds like in the new barn.
