The event will feature Michaels, the 61-year-old Poison frontman known for hits in the 1980s and his VH1 reality show "Rock of Love," alongside The All-American Rejects, the 2000s emo rock band currently launching a new tour after releasing their latest single in 2024.

The performances will take place on Friday, May 23, following the final practice session for the 33 drivers competing in the 109th Indy 500.

IMS president Doug Boles emphasized the significance of the event: "Carb Day is not just the official party to kick off race weekend, it's really the kickoff event of the summer. The day has everything to make the perfect party: 33 drivers in the final practice before the 500, the Pit Stop Challenge, people watching and a fun and entertaining concert to put an exclamation point on the party. It really is a day like no other at the 'Racing Capital of the World.'"
