AEW to host concert as part of Revolution weekend in March
Two days ahead of the launch of their first-ever album, AEW announced Wednesday they will host a concert as part of Revolution weekend in Orlando, Florida.
AEW Music LIVE! will be held on Saturday, March 5th at The Venue at UCF and will be a general admission ticketed event for $20 per ticket. Capacity for the venue is around 1400.
The show will be headlined by AEW in-house music producer Mikey Rukus, complete with a live band. Rappers Monteasy and Wrestle and Flow will also perform on the show as they did on the album.
The aforementioned collaboration album titled ‘Who We Are: A Celebration of Excellence, Volume 1’ was announced earlier this month to honor Black History Month and the various Black wrestlers on the roster.
The show will consist of original AEW themes in addition to some of the 21 tracks found on the album.
On Friday of that weekend, AEW will hold a live Rampage, a Saturday fan fest and the Revolution pay-per-view itself all at Orlando’s Addition Arena.
