Excitement grows for Vindys and metal queen performance
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – The Vindys are getting ready to team up with Metal Queen Lita Ford for Rock the Rich Center.
The annual concert benefits the Rich Center for Autism. This year, they're highlighting 'Women Who Rock' and all the amazing efforts they've made to better the Rich Center but the focus remains on the autism community.
Ford will headline the show this year and will be joined on stage by the Vindys. Vindy's lead singer, Jackie Popovec, is excited to return to the stage for the third-straight year, tag-teaming with Lita Ford.
'I've had the pleasure of being on stage with a lot of legends, and to be with Lita Ford on that same stage as her is just going to be incredible. I can't just wait to see her shred on the guitar,' Popevec said.
The show is set for May 31 at the Youngstown Foundation Amphitheatre. Tickets are still available. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. A pre-concert party kicks off at Penguin City at 4 p.m.
First News Anchor Lindsey Watson is also an ambassador for the event this year.
