"The Knoll" has presented unique experiences including:
- Resurrection - A Journey Tribute, Lindsey James Williams
- VANILLA ICE, C+C Music Factory
- Steve Earle, Zandi Holup
- Hairball

👉Sign up for the newsletter at CKAmp.com and stay tuned for exciting announcements. We’re just getting started with this Southern Indiana gem.👈

The history of Castle Knoll is a paramount factor in the developmental and branding plans for the new venue. The property has a rich heritage of service to the surrounding communities. The Amphitheater rests on the historic hillside that is part of Castle Knoll Farms, with a collection of white-frame barns and other outbuildings cradled against the hills of southern Indiana and bordered by an iconic white fence.

Castle Knoll Amphitheater, located at 4809 US Hwy 150 in Paoli, Indiana, will ultimately have capacity for approximately 8,000 fans. This venue development project will create an opportunity to drastically increase tourism in the market and the state of Indiana. The amphitheater allows guests to view outdoor concerts, shows, and events on the grounds of this iconic Orange County landmark.

Castle Knoll Farms is located conveniently between French Lick and Paoli, Indiana. It is just a few miles from Wilstem Wildlife Park, Big Splash Adventures, and Shotz Lazer Tag & Mini Golf. It is also near multiple world-class golf courses and the historic French Lick Resorts, making it an excellent destination for weekend getaways and family vacations.

Friends. One of our Rock Star team members - Stage & Event Manager - and a KEY leader with The Eric Group - is experiencing a bit of a rough patch with some health challenges. If you know Tramp Lawing, you know he's handling the adversity like a true champ. He's probably working right now to organize and line out the nurses, docs, and schedules so everything happens ON TIME and the right way - and likely keeping them entertained while he's at it. 😉

He's a true professional and means the world to us, our clients/venues/events, and certainly to his family, friends, and fans. We know he'll be back to rocking with us soon. In the meantime, please keep him in your thoughts.

👉Give his Spotify page a FOLLOW, and check out his music. It's the GOOD STUFF! :)

“Weird Al” Yankovic is bringing his full-production multimedia comedy rock show to The DAM on Saturday, July 5, 2025, with the BIGGER & WEIRDER 2025 Tour. Puddles Piddle Party is direct support for the concert, part of the 2025 First United Bank & Trust Concert Series.

After two world tours in smaller venues with scaled-down, intimate shows featuring his original songs, Weird Al now returns to the big stage for the first time in six years, playing his iconic hits as well as some fan favorites that have never been performed live. With his giant video wall, multiple costume changes, and an amazing eight-piece ensemble featuring Al’s original band, Weird Al ups the ante on his already legendary show with a new super-sized concert experience.

“This is kind of a ‘best of both worlds’ tour,” explains Yankovic. “We’ll be doing all the big crowd-pleasing parodies as well as some deep cuts for the hardcore fans – but with twice as many players on stage, everything is going to sound twice as good!”

The tour will be supported by special guest Puddles Pity Party, the 7-foot sad clown whose golden voice is “comparable to any Grammy winner” (Los Angeles Times) and has performed sold-out shows around the globe, including San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts, London’s Soho Theatre and a residency at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas.

"Weird Al" Yankovic is the biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history. A pop culture icon, he is known around the world for his parodies of mega hits by artists of the last four decades, including Madonna, Taylor Swift, Michael Jackson, Usher, Nirvana, Eminem, Queen, Lady Gaga, and many more. His numerous hits include “Amish Paradise,” “Eat It,” “Like a Surgeon,” “Smells Like Nirvana,” “Word Crimes,” and the platinum-selling “White & Nerdy.”

He has received 5 Grammy awards and 17 career nominations. He is one of only three artists to chart in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 in the previous four consecutive decades (the others being Madonna and Michael Jackson).

His last album Mandatory Fun is the only comedy album in history to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200. Also an accomplished actor, writer, director and producer, Yankovic was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018, and an Emmy Award for the 2022 release WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story (starring Daniel Radcliffe as Yankovic).

Yankovic’s live shows have entertained audiences across the globe for generations, including appearances at such iconic venues as Radio City Music Hall, The Hollywood Bowl, Red Rocks, Wolf Trap, The Kennedy Center, and Carnegie Hall.

Heath Eric, Promoter with The Eric Group, said, “Few names in the entertainment industry generate as much global excitement and recognition as Gene Simmons. Gene's name is at the top of the list when discussing rock music's history, progression, impact, evolution, reach, and relevancy. This will be the hottest ticket in the region come May 3, 2025, and will certainly be one of the biggest shows of the outdoor concert season. As we begin our 11th season at The DAM, we are proud to continue our tradition of bringing some of the most legendary and relevant names in the music business to The DAM. If you want to experience this incredible show and a historic night at The DAM, get your tickets ASAP. They will go fast.”

GENE SIMMONS is an international rock legend and co-founder of KISS, America’s #1 gold record award-winning group of all time in all categories (RIAA). As a serial entrepreneur, Simmons has achieved success that reaches far beyond his music career, extending into television, film, publishing, merchandising, restaurants, consumer products, and more.

Simmons’ was inspired to become a rock star when he saw a televised performance by the Beatles. He put his first band together, The Missing Links, with classmates while attending Joseph Pulitzer Middle School. After middle school and throughout high school, Simmons formed several bands, including The Long Island Sounds and Bullfrog Bheer. He met fellow KISS co-founder Paul Stanley in 1970, and they formed their first attempt at a band, Wicked Lester. Though the band developed a prominent following in the New York rock scene, Simmons worked several odd jobs to make additional money, including a position as a 6th-grade teacher in Spanish Harlem and serving as an assistant to an editor at Vogue magazine.

In the winter of 1972, with a desire to create the “ultimate” rock band, not just “another” rock band, Simmons and Stanley formed KISS with original band members Peter Criss and Paul "Ace" Frehley. Inspired by his love of comic books and horror films, Simmons conceived the concept of his face paint. The addition of elaborate costumes, frenetic stage performance, and ostentatious concert effects catapulted KISS to international stardom and a coveted position as one of the most recognized rock and roll bands in the world.

Since its inception, KISS has developed millions of fans around the world, also known as the KISS Army. With over 100 million CDs and DVDs sold worldwide, KISS has sold out stadiums and arenas around the world, breaking box-office records set by Elvis and The Beatles. KISS was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2014 and, in 1999, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In December 2023, KISS held its last two concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Simmons continues to hit the stage with his GENE SIMMONS BAND, which, in addition to Simmons, includes Brent Woods (Sebastian Bach, Vince Neil of MÖTLEY CRÜE), Zach Throne Mother Pearl, The Pink Floyd Experience, Cody Carpenter) and Brian Tichy (Whitesnake, Billy Idol, Foreigner, Sass Jordan, and Ozzy Osbourne).

Formed in 2001, The Iron Maidens have quickly established themselves as one of Southern California’s most popular tribute acts and are rapidly gaining international recognition. The band boasts beauty, excellent musicianship, lively stage presence, and a remarkable stage show with theatrical scenes interspersed throughout.

First and foremost on the agenda of The Iron Maidens is talent. These women are highly trained professionals with diversified musical backgrounds ranging from orchestral and musical theater to blues and rock. The band and its members have been the recipients of many awards, including Best Tribute Band and Best in Category (guitar, bass, drums, voice) at events such as The Rock City News Awards, The LA Music Awards, and The All Access Magazine Award Show to name a few.

The line-up is Kirsten “Bruce Chickinson” Rosenberg on vocals, Linda “Nikki McBURRain” McDonald on drums, Courtney “Adriana Smith” Cox and Nikki “Davina Murray” Stringfield on guitars, and Wanda “Steph Harris” Ortiz on bass.

The Iron Maidens cover Iron Maiden material from all eras of the band’s career, encompassing the band’s biggest hits and fan favorites. The stage show includes appearances by Maiden mascot Eddie, the Grim Reaper, the devil, and more.
