Pittsburgh native Bret Michaels is part of the entertainment for the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft in his home city.
The Poison frontman and rapper Wiz Khalifa, a fellow Pittsburgh native, are set to perform at the Draft Theater next to Acrisure Stadium ahead of draft rounds two and three on April 24. Country star Kane Brown will play the finale on April 25.
“I cannot be more honored, excited and fired up to be asked to perform at the Pittsburgh 2026 Draft on Friday night,” says Michaels. “As a Pittsburgh native and a diehard fan of the Steelers, the NFL and all things Pittsburgh, this is a dream come true.”
All performances are free, although fans are advised to arrive early as standing room spots will go on a first-come, first-served basis. You can find out more at NFL.com.
