April 2-6: Hard Rock Legends Take the Stage at Arizona Bike Week in Scottsdale

Arizona Bike Week will hit WestWorld of Scottsdale April 2nd – 6th, 2025, bringing adrenaline-pumping entertainment from rock legends and rising stars alike. Stone Temple  Pilots, Jackyl, MuDvAyNe and Marilyn Manson will hit the stage as headliners, while 22 local bands will keep the crowd rocking throughout all five days of festivities. 

Several of those local bands earned a coveted spot on the main stage after attracting attention at “Rock Out to Arizona Bike Week,” a battle-of-the-bands-style competition held in January at Harley-Davidson of Scottsdale. The event gave up-and-coming artists a chance to perform in front of a live audience, and three fan favorites from the show will now serve as openers for some of hard rock’s biggest hitmakers.

First up is BadJune, a four-performer cover band that will hit the main stage Wednesday, April 2 ahead of Jackyl. King Cherry, known for “90s and 2000s-inspired dad rock with a Gen-Z twist,” will warm up the crowd ahead of Stone Temple Pilots’ performance on Thursday, April 3rd.

Kicking things off before Marilyn Manson’s Saturday, April 5th performance will be Circus of Mayhem, a guitar-based hard rock band from Phoenix. 

Their selection as opening acts stems directly from their standout performances at Rock Out to Arizona Bike Week, cementing the fact that Arizona Bike Week doesn’t just celebrate existing acts – it also gives emerging artists a chance to shine on one of the biggest stages in the Southwest.

“Arizona Bike Week prides itself on giving up-and-coming bands a platform, and this year’s stacked lineup is a prime example of that,” said Kristina Anderson, who co-owns Arizona Bike Week alongside Lisa Cyr. “These opening acts were hand-picked by the headliners to provide direct support to their show. We can’t wait to see them bring the same energy and talent to the main stage that they demonstrated at Rock Out to AZ Bike Week.”

In addition to its expansive music lineup, this year’s edition of Arizona Bike Week will celebrate the motorcycle industry’s past, present and future by featuring eight electrifying bike shows where participants can score cash prizes, trophies and bragging rights. Among them is Hillary’s Hot Rods, the event’s first indoor car and bike show. Attendees can also enjoy bike shows celebrating Vicla bikes, performance bikes, choppers, custom builds and audio systems, among other categories.

This year’s Arizona Bike Week celebration will also welcome the return of flat track racing in the HellRacer Dome, where attendees can catch riders battling it out around a tight oval track.

Guests can also enjoy the TwinStunts Thrill Show, which features death-defying stunts by identical twin brothers, and the FMX Extreme Stunt Show, which has riders performing aerial tricks up to 35’ off the ground.

Event organizers are also expecting a record number of vendors at this year’s event offering up everything from motorcycle parts and accessories, apparel, leather goods and jewelry to food, drink and even tattoos by Inked Magazine artists.
