The 2025 Year in Live Music is already doing well and as March moves us closer and closer to Spring, it’s time to start the month off right with what will surely amount to being a solid show as Adrian Vandenberg arrives in New York City to play at Sony Hall with a new lineup and to celebrate his tenure in the legendary Whitesnake.

The Details: Guitarist Adrian Vandenberg is an incendiary player who founded his own band Vandenberg back in the early 80’s and released three powerful albums before joining Whitesnake to be a part of a killer lineup with David Coverdale. For this brief tour, the guitarist has revitalized the band Vandenberg with new players and will celebrate with an evening of their most killer numbers along with numerous Whitesnake classics. Thanks to the marketing team of the Blue Note Entertainment Group, PiercingMetal is going to be putting a few of their readers into the Sony Hall show.

When and Where: Sunday, March 2nd at Sony Hall (235 W 46th St, New York, NY 10036) at 7:00PM.

To Participate: The Vandenberg concert at Sony Hall will be the first of our concert ticket giveaways for 2025 and truth be told we don’t get to do them as much as we used to. For our first giveaway for 2025 I am going to follow my normal trajectory and get the most information that I can get out of you. Let’s do three or so inquiries okay. Since Vandenberg has three albums of their own. Which of these albums is your favorite and please tell me why while also listing a few of the songs that still resonate with you. As a member of Whitesnake, Adrian was a core contributor so please let me know how you felt he impacted the legendary band. Last but not least, and this is an easy one. What are you looking forward to the most about this show. As you know, while less is more to some, here at the Media Command HQ, “more is more”. Now before you get started please review some important guidelines on this to make it easier.

* Enter only once. All comments are moderated and don’t appear immediately after submission so be patient and don’t enter numerous times. You should see “your comment is awaiting moderation” once you submit it. It will appear once approved. It’s important to make sure you that you are entering a NEW comment and not replying to another contestant’s entry as that will get confusing when announcing winners.
* Number the requirements for ease of knowing if you followed the instructions or not.
* The entry should be a good read, so a sentence or two of facts that make up your required three items. Saying “because it rules dude” will not impress me and not help your cause.
* Please enter your full real name in the comment form along with an email address that you can be reached at if you win. This is super important because we might also be sending you a confirmation email and sharing with the house in case they have last minute audience updates. We stress that you do NOT place this information in the comment itself out of privacy concerns.
* Please only enter if you really have interest in attending and its possible for you to do so. As this is a NYC performance, if you live a couple of hundred miles away we don’t think you should be entering. No shows will work against you in future giveaways.
* Subscribe to the comments and check back to see them so you know if you won or not.
* Its recommended that you compose your entry on a text editor and then paste it into the comment form so you don’t lose any work. We’ve learned that sometimes a mobile feed is tricky so be sure to have a strong signal or use a laptop when doing this.

Get to work because this one will close by Friday 2/28/2025 around noon since I have to get the list in before the EOD.

Restrictions: The PiercingMetal Giveaways are open to our regional site visitors and Social Networking Followers (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube) and we always look for submissions from those who might not have won in the past. As your name will be on the guest list there are NO physical tickets to claim on site.

If You Win This Contest: If you are marked as one of the winners for this giveaway, I will be leaving a comment directly below yours informing you about the win. I will also be sharing the information you will need should you encounter any issues on your arrival to the venue. If time permits, you can also expect an email to the provided address reminding you of the win so make sure that @piercingmetal.com is listed as a safe domain to receive notes from. Just in case, the claiming details are that the winners of the giveaway will go to the podium at the venue entrance and ask for the “House Guest List”. Your name will be there and if you run into any difficulty, politely ask for a House Manager and explain that this giveaway comes care of the Blue Note Entertainment Marketing Team and PiercingMetal. Remember that this is a single, general admission ticket only with no plus one and there are no exceptions to this rule. Any additional features or needs must be paid for by you OOP. We ask that if you do post to Social Media about attending with one of our tickets that you shout us out or hashtag #PiercingMetal so others know about us and helps the outlet gain more followers.
