Lita Ford’s trailblazing career began in 1976 as the lead guitarist of the groundbreaking all-girl punk rock band The Runaways, whose hard rock/punk edge spawned cult classics like “Cherry Bomb”, “Wasted” and “Queens of Noise”. Additionally, the band contributed a great Slade cover to the annals of rock with their rendition of “Mama We’re All Crazy Now”. Their legacy was re-ignited in 2014 when “Cherry Bomb” was featured in Marvel/Disney’s Guardians of the Galaxy. This earned a Grammy nomination, cementing the band’s enduring influence on rock music.

She launched her solo career in 1983 with Out for Blood, establishing herself as the premier female force in hard rock and heavy metal. Her follow-up album, Dancin’ on the Edge (1984), earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance and produced her hit, “Gotta Let Go”. By 1988, she had become a household name upon the release of her multi-platinum self-titled album, LITAXX. This huge album was produced by Mike Chapman (The Sweet, Tina Turner, Pat Benatar) and featured the chart-toppers “Kiss Me Deadly” and “Close My Eyes Forever”, a duet with the late Ozzy Osbourne, the latter spending 25 weeks on the Billboard Top 10; a first ever top 10 for Ozzy. Lita is also proud to have been the first female on the cover of Lonn Friend’s RIP Magazine – this was also to be the largest selling edition ever printed.

Now more active than ever, Lita Ford is extensively touring across the United States and Europe. In addition to her relentless tour schedule, Lita is set to release a highly anticipated new album in 2026 which promises to deliver the fierce energy and signature guitar work fans around the world have come to love. This new album boasts a wealth of writing and production talent including Gary Hoey, mixing Max Norman, and including a duet written, produced, and sung with Jean Beauvoir.

Head East, known for their signature harmonies and anthemic rock, is celebrating their 50th anniversary by performing songs from their iconic album Flat as a Pancake. Their classic “Never Been Any Reason” remains a staple of rock radio, and their newest release, Full Circle, breathes new life into their legendary sound. With their signature blend of soaring vocals and electrifying instrumentals, Head East continues to captivate audiences.
