Metal band Five Finger Death Punch, country singer Brantley Gilbert to co-headline at Resch Center (and yes, you read that right)
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
ASHWAUBENON - Five Finger Death Punch and Brantley Gilbert are coming to the Resch Center — on the same night.
The metal band fronted by Ivan Moody and the country singer with the brass knuckles microphone are teaming up as a one-two punch for a co-headlining arena tour that will stop in Ashwaubenon at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 3. It's one of 22 dates on a fall swing that begins Nov. 9 and wraps Dec. 17.
While it may look like an unlikely pairing, the artists do have a history. 5FDP's 2019 cover of Kenny Wayne Shepherd's "Blue on Black" features Gilbert, Shepherd and Queen guitarist Brian May.

Canadian country-rock artist Cory Marks will open the Resch Center show.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at ticketstaronline.com, 800-895-0071 and the Resch box office. That's also the same day 5FDP's ninth studio album, "AfterLife," comes out.
Tickets are $29.50, $59.50, $79.50, $99.50 and $129.50. General admission pit is $129.50. Aisle seats are $20 more.
Fan club presales for both artists begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday. All other presales begin at 10 a.m. Thursday.
It'll be return trips for both acts. 5FDP sold out the Resch Center in 2018 for a show with Breaking Benjamin, with Moody prowling the stage in a walking boot due to a foot injury, but no less fierce.
As part of that stop, Moody donated 50 sleeping bags to Pillars, an Appleton organization that helps the homeless in the Fox Cities.
Gilbert's Fire't Up Tour made a stop in at the Resch in February 2020, just weeks before the pandemic halted touring worldwide. His Black Out Tour also came through the Resch in 2016. In between those shows, he played halftime for the Detroit Lions-Green Bay Packers game at Lambeau Field for "Monday Night Football" in 2019.
