Rock the Fishes Charity Concert Comes to Rockwall on October 11
Rock the Fishes Charity Concert at Shenaniganz Rockwall!
October 11th | 11AM at Shenaniganz Rockwall
Four tribute bands. Free bowling. Free laser tag. And a Christmas for families who need one.
On Sunday, October 11, 2026, Shenaniganz Rockwall hosts the first annual Rock the Fishes Charity Concert, a full day of live music benefiting The 2 Fishes Project. Doors open at 11 AM, the music starts at 12:30 PM, and the whole thing runs until 8 PM.
Tickets are $35 for standard entry and $50 for VIP. Every ticket includes free bowling, free laser tag, and access to the rest of the building.
What Is Rock the Fishes?
Rock the Fishes is a one-day charity concert built around four of the best tribute acts working in Texas. It is the first event of its kind at Shenaniganz Rockwall, and the goal is simple: fill the building with live music and send every dollar of proceeds to The 2 Fishes Project.
This is not a sit-down concert. The bands play while the lanes run, the laser tag arena stays open, and the arcade keeps going. You can catch a set, bowl a game, and come back for the next band without ever leaving.
The Lineup: Four Tribute Bands in One Day
American Petty
The premier Tom Petty experience. Expect the catalog you actually want to hear, played by a band that has clearly spent a long time getting the details right.
Antebellum
A tribute to Lady A, bringing modern country harmonies to the Rockwall stage.
Dreams Unwind
The ultimate Stevie Nicks experience, leaning into the solo material and the voice that defined it.
Fleetwood X
The ultimate Fleetwood Mac experience. Rumors front to back, essentially.
Between Dreams Unwind and Fleetwood X, the back half of this bill is a serious run for anyone who grew up on that sound.
Free Bowling, Free Laser Tag, and Everything Else
Here is what separates this from a standard concert ticket. Your admission covers the show and the attractions.
- Free bowling all day
- Free laser tag all day
- Full access to the arcade, mini golf, and the rest of the Shenaniganz floor
- Food and full bar service available throughout
Doors open at 11 AM, a full ninety minutes before the first set. Come early, get a lane, and settle in.

Who Benefits: The 2 Fishes Project
All proceeds from Rock the Fishes go to The 2 Fishes Project, a nonprofit that provides Christmas for families in need.
That is the whole reason the event exists. Every ticket sold, every VIP upgrade, every dollar raised goes toward making sure local families have something under the tree in December. If you cannot make it on the 11th, donations are welcome regardless.
