The Fray – Rock the Ruins
August 14 @ 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm EDT
The Fray with special guest The Strike live in concert at Rock the Ruins at Holliday Park in Indianapolis on Thursday, August 14, 2025!
When The Fray first burst onto the scene in the early aughts, the Colorado-bred band introduced the world to a profoundly life-affirming form of alt-rock: timeless but inventive, arena-size in scope but firmly rooted in raw emotion. Over the coming decades, their soul-searching songwriting and high-powered round led to earning four Grammy Award nominations, scoring a multitude of Billboard top 10 hits, and amassing a passionately devoted worldwide fanbase. On their first new body of work in ten years, vocalist/guitarist and primary songwriter Joe King, guitarist Dave Welsh, and drummer Ben Wysocki continue the band’s formidable legacy following the 2022 departure of former frontman Isaac Slade—all while uncovering entirely new dimensions of their artistry. Named for a joyful declaration shouted out by a fan at a recent live show, The Fray Is Back finds King stepping into the role of lead singer and joining Welsh and Wysocki in launching a bold new chapter for the globally beloved band.
Rock the Ruins is a summer concert series hosted by Forty5 and The Vogue at Holliday Park, an enchanting 95-year old park nestled in a gently wooded neighborhood just six miles north of downtown Indianapolis. Perfect for experiencing live music, catching up with neighbors and friends, and connecting with nature, a Rock the Ruins concert is the ideal spot to spend a summer evening. We encourage our all-ages guests to bring chairs/blankets for all Rock the Ruins shows as seating will not be provided for general admission guests. No outside coolers or alcoholic beverages will be permitted in the park as guests will be encouraged to take advantage of a variety of local and artisan vendors selling food and beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). Guests must present a valid ID (and be 21+) to purchase alcoholic beverages while on-site for any Rock the Ruins event at Holliday Park.
