The Rev joins Zakk Sabbath for an all-star Sturgis Buffalo Chip® finale on Saturday, Aug. 10.
Sturgis, SD (January 15, 2019) – The Reverend Horton Heat’s lightning-fast licks and old-school American rock, blues and country will set the Buffalo Chip’s Wolfman Jack Stage ablaze with nitro-boosted punk rock attitude on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2019. Sharing the stage with Zakk Wylde, one of the most talented heavy metal musicians ever to pick up a guitar, and the hard rock supergroup Zakk Sabbath, will make for an incredible send-off for the 2019 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

“Reverend Horton Heat delivers more than just an extraordinary performance,” said Rod Woodruff, Sturgis Buffalo Chip President, “These guys deliver a sermon of rockabilly with the passion you’d expect of an old-time evangelical rock and roll shaman. There’s no question, the combination of the Rev with Zakk Sabbath will make this one of those nights to remember at the Buffalo Chip.”
The Dallas, Texas-based psychobilly trio released their 12th studio album “Whole New Life” in November. As the leader of the trio, Jim Heath is the lead singer, songwriter and guitarist. He’s been dubbed the “Godfather of Modern Rockabilly and Psychobilly.” The band describes itself as rock and roll that’s influenced by 1950s rockabilly, punk, country, surf and jazz standards. They mix country, surf, punk, big band, swing and rockabilly into loud, energetic songs with often-humorous lyrics.
The 38th annual festival noted as “The Best Party Anywhere” will open with a pre-rally party July 29 – Aug. 1, 2019, with official festival dates running Aug. 2-11, 2019. Performers announced so far include:
