Eagles, Moody Blues concerts to open Hard Rock theme park in June...

The Eagles and The Moody Blues will perform in June at a two-day celebration of the opening of Hard Rock Park, and the park will sponsor a celebrity golf tournament featuring LPGA star Paula Creamer, The Moody Blues musicians and other golf pros, the park announced today.

Tickets to the events will go on sale 11 a.m. March 17 at the park’s entrance off of U.S. 501 and online at its website.

The park, which bills itself the world’s first rock ‘n’ roll theme park, has been promising big-name bands to celebrate its inaugural year. Hard Rock Park will be the first major theme park in an area long known for its beaches and golf courses.

The Moody Blues came to Myrtle Beach in October to announce that one of the park’s rides would be set to the band’s hit song “Nights in White Satin.” Band members promised then that they would return.
