Heart and Cheap Trick at Van Andel Arena

This is the big Friday night downtown. Two legend acts, one ticket, and Ionia Ave bars within stumbling distance after the encore.

Loud but friendly. Teens who found Heart on a playlist will forgive you for knowing every word. Arena shows end around 11, plan the drive home.

21st and Fulton will be gridlocked 10:45 to 11:30. Stage your pickups on Ottawa or Ionia, not Fulton. Arena crowd skews 45 plus, tips well.

Heart and Cheap Trick land at Van Andel Arena on Friday, August 21. Both bands are Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, and both still tour hard | Ann and Nancy Wilson fronting Heart, Rick Nielsen and Robin Zander driving Cheap Trick.

Van Andel Arena sits at 130 W Fulton in the middle of downtown, which means dinner before the show is a real option. Bridge Street and Monroe Center are both a short walk.

Tickets through Ticketmaster. Arena shows at Van Andel typically open doors an hour before the first act.
