On Saturday, August 9, 2025, Steel Valley Woofstock 8 will rock the valley. A fun-filled evening of Peace, Paws, Love, and Music will be at W.D. Packard Music Hall Warren, Ohio. This is a ticketed event, and doors open at 5 PM for what has become a groovy annual event as a fundraiser for Steel Valley Woofstock, a 501c3 nonprofit that helps animals.

Last year, The Steel Valley All Stars opened for Red Wanting Blue. The All Stars represent the best of the best local musical talent including Rajma, a singer-songwriter and phenomenal rock guitarist. The All Stars also welcomed back valley native and season 13 of The Voice, contestant singer and mad skills guitarist Dennis Drummond on stage.

This year, The Steel Valley All Stars are back featuring Rajma and Dennis, plus a smoking hot list of talented musicians joining them on stage. You won’t want to miss it because there may be a surprise guest or two!

Our headliner talent this year is Fantastic Cat. Fantastic Cat is an indie music supergroup consisting of Anthony D’Amato, Brian Dunne, Don DiLego, and Mike Montali.

Hailed by Rolling Stone as “the-supergroup-you-need-to-know,” Fantastic Cat released their irrefutably titled debut, The Very Best Of Fantastic Cat, to widespread acclaim in 2022.

Tickets are available on steelvalleywoofstock.org website. This year we offer some new ticket levels. You can choose dinner & a show or simply come for the music. Music starts at 6:30pm.

Our famous basket raffle will be back featuring baskets starting at $100 or more in value! Last year we had over $12,000 in baskets! We have special basket raffles that require special tickets, one of which is for the Big Bonzai Basket with at least $1000 in dog toys, treats, care items, and fun stuff!

There is a Rock and Roll Memorabilia Silent Auction. There are autographed guitars from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Michael Anthony, Joe Walsh, Collective Soul, Josey Scott, and more. Other items include music industry awards from Foo Fighters, Elvis plus signed movie posters like Top Gun, and Star Wars, and even a special Woofstock theme Stella guitar painted by Brian Fechino.

This is a ticketed event. Dinner & Show ticket gets you entrance, dinner from Cockeyed BBQ, dessert, and nonalcoholic drinks, a cash bar is available, entry into our progressive prize drawing featuring gift cards from local businesses, the basket auction and live musical entertainment. Tickets are $60.00 each. Tables and VIP packages available as well.

We are currently seeking sponsors, basket sponsors, cookie table sponsors, and gift certificates to local businesses. Visit our website steelvalleywoofstock.org for sponsorship information.

Best of all this is a fundraiser for the furbabies! We have helped spay or neuter nearly 600 pets so far this year and assist with humane crisis in our community.
