About The Velcro Pygmies

The Velcro Pygmies aren't just a rock band. They're a rock show. For decades, the nationally touring group has brought its signature high-energy performances to audiences across the country, combining the larger-than-life spirit of '80s rock with an anything-can-happen stage presence that turns every crowd into part of the show.

With a setlist spanning rock favorites from Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Poison, Journey, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses and more, The Velcro Pygmies deliver big guitars, iconic anthems, plenty of personality, and absolutely zero background music. Every performance is part concert, part comedy, and one seriously good time.

The Velcro Pygmies don't play a show. They unleash one.
