HUNTINGTON -- Two of the top bands from the 1970s rocked a crowd of about 4,000 Thursday night at Big Sandy Superstore Arena.

The CAN'T STOP ROCKIN' 2009 Tour featured STYX and REO Speedwagon, along with special guest Night Ranger.

The arena will host Daughtry, which features American Idol fourth-place finalist Chris Daughtry, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 14.

Then, at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, Gary Allan and the GET OFF ON THE PAIN TOUR will hit the arena. That show features special guests Jack Ingram and the Eli Young Band.

At 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 22, the Imagination Movers shuffle into town for one show. The wildly popular kid-pop quarter, which has a Disney Channel series, is on its first-even concert tour.
