About Wayland
Formed in Wichita, Kansas, in 2013, Wayland blends arena-ready hooks with hard-rock grit. Frontman Mitchell Arnold leads on vocals and rhythm guitar, while Phillip Vilenski unleashes dual-axe riffs. The lineup rounds out with Patrick Hawkins on bass and Tyler Coburn on drums, forging a tight live attack that’s earned them spots on national tours and festivals.
The Freaksters, a quartet out of Chicago, will open the evening. Known for their blend of punk-fueled grooves and hooky choruses, they’ve built a following across Illinois and Wisconsin. Their latest EP, “Midnight Mechanics,” dropped in May and has been streaming steadily on rock radio rotations.
Fans attending the Top Fuel Saloon show can expect a two-hour rock experience featuring material from Wayland’s latest LP, “Welcome to Paradise,” as well as fan favorites like “Highway Home” and “Get Aboard.” The venue’s large outdoor stage and beer garden set the scene for a summer night of live music, cold drinks, and rowdy sing-alongs.
Whether you’ve followed Wayland since their Wichita bar-circuit days or just discovered them via streaming playlists, July 12 at Top Fuel Saloon is shaping up to be one of the season’s must-see Midwest rock events.
The band encourages early arrival—limited VIP packages include a meet-and-greet, exclusive merch, and a signed poster. Standard GA tickets start at $20.
Don’t miss your chance to catch Wayland and Freaksters live. Head to the band’s official website or swipe up in their Instagram story for tickets and on-site info.
