Smith & Myers, Ice Nine Kills and Zakk Wylde will perform at 98 Rock’s Unwrapped acoustic holiday concert on December 11, 2026, at Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena in Baltimore. The show is scheduled for 7 p.m., with The Warning, The Funeral Portrait, Black Stone Cherry and Kurt Deimer completing the bill.
Shinedown’s Brent Smith and Zach Myers are appearing as Smith & Myers, while Wylde will perform with Black Label Society bandmate Dario Lorina. Those pairings are part of an evening built around acoustic arrangements, giving the artists a setting to revisit their songs outside their usual touring productions.
Organizers are developing each Unwrapped event around its particular city and lineup. For Baltimore, that means an evening of acoustic performances involving all seven billed acts, with the focus on the songs and the musicians performing them. Specific song selections and collaborations have not been announced.
A separate premium experience will give attendees access to a gathering in The Peake Club from 5 to 7 p.m. The package includes live artist interviews, appearances by 98 Rock personalities, complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a commemorative VIP laminate. A cash bar will also be available. Each person purchasing the upgrade must also have a reserved concert ticket, which is sold separately.
98 Rock lists starting ticket prices at $48.15 including fees. General sales begin September 18 at 10 a.m. ET through Ticketmaster.
Fans can access station and venue presales beginning September 16 at 10 a.m. ET. Both presales run through September 17 at 10 p.m. ET, ahead of the public sale the following morning. The official ticket listing sets a limit of eight concert tickets per purchase.
