It's been a Sioux City tradition for 16 years. Hundreds of motorcycles and thousands of people take to the streets for a three-day summer celebration known as Awesome Biker Nights. There's live music, a bike show, poker run, freak show, wet t-shirt contest, vendors, poker tournament, motorcycle stunt teams and more! Now, that sounds like a party.

Every year, the event never disappoints when it comes to music. Past performers include Sebastian Bach, Lita Ford, Night Ranger and even Rick Springfield. This year could be one of their biggest events ever.

This year, there's a new location for the event. It's usually located in the historic 4th Street district in downtown Sioux City, but this year, the rally moves six blocks west to the 4th and Pearl Street District next to the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

All of the concerts will take place at the Hard Rock's Battery Park and the streets north and east of the Hard Rock will be blocked off for motorcycle and pedestrian traffic.

The 3-day event takes place from June 16-18, 2016.

Here's the lineup:

Thursday, June 16, 2016

One Metallica, a Metallica Tribute band

Friday, June 17, 2016

Saturday, June 18, 2016

Tickets are $35 in advance for a weekend pass or $25 a night at the gate.

Awesome Biker Nights has raised over a million dollars for local charities in the past 16 years.
