The Wallflowers - Rock the Ruins
2025-06-06 19:00 - 22:30 | Holliday Park, 6363 Spring Mill Road, Indianapolis, IN, 46260
“Rock ‘n’ roll can be elusive, but with the Wallflowers, it’s unmistakable. Led by Jakob Dylan for over 30 years, the band has consistently delivered a signature blend of timeless storytelling and modern rock energy, from hits like Bringing Down the Horse to the more recent Glad All Over. Though Dylan explored solo projects and collaborations, he always knew the Wallflowers would return. Their latest album, Exit Wounds, marks their first release in nearly a decade, staying true to their raw, electrifying sound while introducing a fresh lineup of musicians.

Produced by Butch Walker, Exit Wounds reflects a world in turmoil, filled with themes of resilience and change. Featuring a guest appearance by Shelby Lynne, the album carries the weight of experience, with Dylan’s lyrics capturing characters shaped by life’s struggles. Recorded as a full-band effort rather than a revolving-door session, the album embodies the magic of collaboration—something Dylan believes is essential to great rock ‘n’ roll. As he puts it, “The Wallflowers is much of my life’s work,” and with Exit Wounds, that work continues stronger than ever.”

‍Rock the Ruins is a summer concert series hosted by Forty5 and The Vogue at Holliday Park, an enchanting 95-year old park nestled in a gently wooded neighborhood just six miles north of downtown Indianapolis. Perfect for experiencing live music, catching up with neighbors and friends, and connecting with nature, a Rock the Ruins concert is the ideal spot to spend a summer evening. We encourage our all-ages guests to bring chairs/blankets for all Rock the Ruins shows as seating will not be provided for general admission guests. No outside coolers or alcoholic beverages will be permitted in the park as guests will be encouraged to take advantage of a variety of local and artisan vendors selling food and beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). Guests must present a valid ID (and be 21+) to purchase alcoholic beverages while on-site for any Rock the Ruins event at Holliday Park.
