Core members Scotti Hill, Rachel Bolan and Dave "Snake" Sabo are still rocking in 2016.

However, Harnell unexpectedly announced his departure in December. It is unclear what the band's current vocalist situation is.

Christian rock outfit Stryper will perform as well and features all four core members of the band still rocking out more than 30 years since its first release. The band, which is touring in support of its October 2015 release, "Fallen," is best known for its hit singles "Honestly," "Calling on You," "Free," "Soldiers Under Command," "Always," and "To Hell With the Devil."
