Thursday: Fall Out Boy
Chicago-based multi-platinum award-winning rock band Fall Out Boy will start the festivities after the first 31 rookies have been selected in Round 1 of the Draft on Thursday.
They are preparing to go on a world tour in June in support of their eighth studio album, what they're calling the So Much For (Tour), which begins in their hometown on June 21 at Wrigley Field. They will head overseas Aug. 19 to Japan before touring several European countries.
Friday: Mötley Crüe
Day 2 brings in something a little more old-school when the iconic 1980s hair metal band Mötley Crüe hits the stage.
They're currently touring midway through the globe, on what they're calling The WORLD Tour, having started in Central and South America in February and March. They're on a pause until May 22, where they'll pick back up by traveling across 17 European countries. They'll return for some U.S. shows on Aug. 5.
Saturday: Thundercat
The Draft will conclude on Saturday with an appearance from Grammy-winning bassist and vocalist Thundercat, who the league says will "curate a special performance which will pay tribute to the rich music history and the legacy of jazz in Kansas City."
