Local rock musicians, Broadway singers and an American Idol finalist will join the Helena Symphony Orchestra on Saturday, July 15, to “play that funky music” of the ’70s and ’80s. The 14th annual Symphony Under the Stars begins at 8:30 p.m. at Carroll College in Helena and will end with a fireworks display. The Rock On concert will feature rock, pop and disco hits popularized by Michael Jackson, Madonna, Led Zeppelin, Queen and the Eagles.

Concertgoers can spread their blankets for the free outdoor event beginning at 5 p.m. Friday, July 14—or at 3 p.m. with a $5 donation to the Boy Scouts. It’s traditional to use canned goods as overnight blanket weights and then donate them to Helena Food Share. As an event sponsor, AARP Montana is offering free shuttle service from Centennial Park starting four hours before the concert.
