Welcome to the Crazy Train: The Ultimate Tribute Circus

Step aboard the Crazy Train—because IKONS OF ROCK is about to take you on the wildest ride through rock history. Imagine Ozzy barking at the moon, Alice Cooper slashing through the shadows, Queen raising fists in the air, Fleetwood Mac weaving their spell, and Van Halen shredding the night apart—all in one show. That’s the chaos and glory IKONS brings: over a dozen full-throttle tributes crammed into a single evening that feels like stepping into a time machine parked in the middle of an arena.

Born in Winnipeg and now based out of Las Vegas, the band’s roots are pure Canadian rock ’n’ roll grit. These aren’t just players—they’re veterans, with bloodlines running through Harlequin, Kenny Shields, and Streetheart. They’ve been out there grinding the circuit for decades, and now they’ve dialed in a performance that’s equal parts impersonation, celebration, and spectacle. The costumes drip with excess, the lights hit you like a freight train, and the voices? Scary close. They don’t just look like the icons—they are them for the night.

IKONS has shared stages with everyone from The Beach Boys to Whitesnake, Cheap Trick to Blue Öyster Cult, building a reputation for their uncanny precision and over-the-top showmanship. And with a Vegas residency and even a rock ’n’ roll cruise on the horizon, this isn’t just another tribute act—it’s a full-on traveling circus of classic rock’s golden age.

For anyone who ever wore out their cassette deck, lit a Bic in the cheap seats, or just wanted to believe in the church of rock ’n’ roll, IKONS is your communion. This is the show where nostalgia and adrenaline collide—and you leave hoarse, sweaty, and grinning like it’s still 1987.
