Gym Class Heroes to Perform at 2008 Honda Indy

by Pete Richards

Gym Class Heroes

Gym Class Heroes is scheduled to perform at the 2008 Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. XM Satellite Radio will present the guys in concert on Sunday, April 6 before the green lights go on at the 2008 Honda Indy. According to organizers, the GCH concert will start at 12 p.m. and will take place on the XM Stage in the Honda Plaza, located inside the race circuit adjacent to the Mahaffey Theater. XM is dedicated to delivering the best of motorsports and music to open-wheel race fans around the country, according to XM vice-president of automotive marketing Jeff Curry. This is one of the few upcoming concerts Gym Class will be playing before the summer, when they plan to tour extensively in support of their upcoming full-length The Quilt. They’re also doing a few other small shows this spring, though this is probably one of the biggest.

The Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, the first street-circuit race on the 2008 IndyCar Series schedule, will be run on a 1.8-mile, 14-turn course through the streets of St. Petersburg on Sunday, April 6. Qualifying and practice sessions will be held Friday, April 4 and Saturday, April 5. The second running of the Acura Sports Car Challenge of St. Petersburg on the American Le Mans Series gets under way at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 5.

Travie said of the upcoming concert, “We play for fans of all kinds of music - from jam band to death metal to punk to hip-hop, and we’re thrilled to perform for race fans today in St. Petersburg.”
