Big '80s show to kick off summer at L'Auberge Casino Resort

Stephen Pearcy will perform at L'Auberge Casino Resort in Lake Charles on Sunday, May 31, 2026.

Get ready to rock because L’Auberge Casino Resort has announced a big concert to kick off the start of the summer in 2026.

The L’Auberge Casino Resort in Lake Charles, La., announced this week a great concert featuring multiple artists that ruled the airwaves and MTV in the 1980s. The aptly titled “Summer Splash” event will feature Stephen Pearcy, best known as the lead vocalist of Ratt; Sebastian Bach, best known as the vocalist of Skid Row; Great White, Slaughter and Mike Tramp’s White Lion as the opening act. Tickets go on sale Friday, Dec. 12, at all Ticketmaster outlets and locations.

Since the demise of Ratt several years ago, Stephen Pearcy has been delivering the Ratt ‘N Roll to fans with his solo band. Midway through 2025, Pearcy and his former Ratt bandmate and guitarist, Warren DeMartini, joined forces to bring the music to the masses. Carlos Cavazo, formerly the guitarist of Quiet Riot and a member of Ratt for the past handful of years prior to its demise, is also along for the ride as well. Ratt’s music helped shape the 1980s and MTV and songs such as “Round and Round,” “Wanted Man,” “Lay It Down,” and “Way Cool Jr.” are still rock radio staples.

Sebastian Bach is a true force of nature and needs little introduction. In the late ‘80s and early 1990s, he fronted hard rock act Skid Row and delivered some of the most powerful vocals in the rock world on songs such as “Youth Gone Wild,” “18 and Life,” “I Remember You,” “Monkey Business,” “Slave to the Grind” and many more. Bach released his most recent solo record, “Child Within the Man,” in May 2024.

For more than a decade the world has been treated to two versions of the band performing Great White’s music, but following the death of original vocalist Jack Russell, there is only one version now. Great White features several of the original members of the band carrying on with the group’s legacy and features an amazing, youthful vocalist in Brett Carlisle. The band tours regularly and continues to delight audiences with tunes we all know and love such as “Once Bitten, Twice Shy,” “ Lady Red Light,” “Mista Bone,” “The Angel Song,” “Desert Moon,” and more.

Slaughter is one of the few bands from the late 1980s and early 1990s that has really never stopped touring and releasing new music and, actually, features the same lineup from the same time frame. The group still fires on all cylinders and performs its classic hits such as “Up All Night,” “Spend My Life,” “Fly to the Angels,” “The Wild Life,” and many others.

Opening the show will be Mike Tramp, the vocalist of the band White Lion. Although the band separated in the early 1990s and has never reformed, Tramp is bringing the music back to the fans with his group known as Mike Tramp’s White Lion. Fans will be treated to tunes “Wait,” “Tell Me,” “When the Children Cry,” “Lady of the Valley,” “Lights and Thunder,” “Hungry” and more.
