Scorpions set fair record, Billy Idol up next | The News-Review - NRtoday.com: The Scorpions set an all-time attendance record during a 100-minute performance Friday evening at the Douglas County Fair.
The heavy metal band from Germany attracted more than 12,500 people to the Premier West Bank Amphitheater. Fans packed the bleachers set up on the amphitheater berm and filled the grassy areas leading away from the stage.
There were so many people that the crowd spilled over into areas on the sides of the amphitheater where they could not see the stage. Yet they stayed and listened to the music.
“It was phenomenal,” Fairgrounds Director Harold Phillips said. “What a production. What a sound. What a performance.”
