Sturgis Concerts | Lita Ford
Welcome to Sturgis, Lita.

Last week, Grammy-award-winning singer-songwriter Leon Russell suffered a heart attack, leaving a void to fill at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip’s concert lineup. Fortune smiled on the Chip, however, and now Runaways lead guitarist and ‘80s glam metal maven Lita Ford opens for Kid Rock on Sunday, Aug. 7 in Russell’s place.
While British-born Ford earned her stripes as a founder of the smoking-hot, all-girl group The Runaways in the 1970s, she has earned considerably more topping the charts with a duet next to Ozzy Osbourne titled “Close Your Eyes Forever” and hits such as “What Do You know About Love,” “Shot of Poison,” and “Larger Than Life.”
