KISS, Mötley Crüe and Ozzy Tributes in Norwich, NY

Some songs don’t just come on the radio. They take you right back.

Maybe it’s the opening guitar of “Crazy Train,” the first few seconds of “Kickstart My Heart,” or the second “Rock and Roll All Nite” comes blasting through the speakers. If you grew up when big hair, leather jackets, guitar solos, and arena rock ruled the world, Norwich Fall Fest has two Saturday nights you’ll want to put on your calendar now.

Rocktober is coming to the Chenango County Fairgrounds in Norwich on Saturday, October 24, and Saturday, October 31, with tribute acts celebrating KISS, Mötley Crüe, and Ozzy Osbourne.

KISS and Mötley Crüe Tribute Bands Play Norwich October 24

The first Rocktober show is Saturday, October 24. The music starts at 5 p.m. at the Chenango County Fairgrounds, 168 East Main Street in Norwich.

KISS Alive NYC, a full-makeup KISS tribute band, is scheduled to perform, followed by Crucified, a Mötley Crüe tribute band. If you still know every word to “Dr. Feelgood” or haven’t outgrown the urge to turn up a little KISS when nobody’s looking, this one is for you.

You can find details and ticket information for the October 24 show through Norwich Fall Fest.

S.A.T.O. Brings an Ozzy Osbourne Tribute to Norwich October 31

One week later, Rocktober continues on Halloween weekend.

S.A.T.O., an Ozzy Osbourne tribute band, is scheduled to perform Saturday, October 31, at the Chenango County Fairgrounds. Whether “Crazy Train,” “Bark at the Moon,” or “Mama, I’m Coming Home” is the song that takes you back, this is your chance to hear the music of the Prince of Darkness with a crowd that gets it.

You can find more details on the October 31 show at the Norwich Fall Fest event page.
