Details

Turn your Tuesday night into a full-throttle rock show at Helen 55 - Live at Valhalla on June 23rd, 2026 at 8:00 pm. This is a stacked local lineup built for anyone who likes their guitars loud, their drums relentless, and their vocals unapologetically raw.

Headliners Helen 55 bring a high-energy mix of heavy riffs, melodic hooks, and big-stage attitude. Their live sets are known for feeling huge in an intimate room – think sing-along choruses, headbang-worthy breakdowns, and the kind of onstage chemistry that pulls the whole crowd in.

Helen 55 – A tight, driving rock outfit with a knack for balancing grit and melody. Expect punchy drums, thick bass lines, and guitar work that swings from atmospheric to absolutely ripping.
Torched – Opening the night with heavier edges and darker tones, Torched set the mood with blazing riffs and big dynamic swings. They’re the band that makes you say “whoa” before the headliner even hits.
Slipdress – Sliding in with a moodier, possibly more alt-leaning sound, Slipdress brings groove, tension, and a bit of swagger. They’re the perfect bridge between the raw power of Torched and the anthemic energy of Helen 55.

This show is 21 & over, so the vibe stays firmly in “grown-up rock night out” territory. With tickets at $15, it’s an easy yes for a three-band bill where every set actually matters.

Solid local lineup: no filler sets, just three bands that each bring a distinct flavor of rock and heavy music.
Intimate, loud-room experience: close enough to the stage to feel every kick drum and guitar stab.
Perfect mid-week release valve: stomp, shout, and sweat out the workday in under a few hours.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan of Helen 55, hunting for your next favorite local band, or just craving a proper night of live guitars and loud amps, this show is built to shake you out of your routine. Grab your friends, bring your earplugs (or don’t), and get ready for a late-night run of Torched, Slipdress, and Helen 55 turning Valhalla into a wall-to-wall rock frenzy.

Set your calendar for June 23rd, 2026, 8:00 pm, and prepare for a night where the volume knob stays pinned all the way up.
