The Steve Miller Band will play the annual Carb Day concert on May 26 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Founded in 1966, the California band will draw on a catalog of hits that includes “The Joker,” “Fly Like an Eagle” and “Rock’n Me.” Vocalist-guitarist Miller entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist in 2016.

The Steve Miller Band’s local performance history includes a 1972 show at the Indiana Convention Center and appearances at Klipsch Music Center every summer from the venue’s opening season in 1989 through 2000.

Barenaked Ladies, known for 1998 hit “One Week,” will perform as the concert’s supporting act.

The Carb Day concert is part of festivities surrounding the 101st running of the Indianapolis 500, scheduled for May 28.

In addition to the concert, Miller Lite Carb Day includes the final practice for the Indy 500, the annual Pit Stop Challenge and the Indy Lights Freedom 100 race. General admission tickets, $30, are available for purchase at IMS.com/carbday. Upgrades for access closest to the concert stage are available for $20.

Headliners are now set for three days of music surrounding the 500. Following Miller’s performance at Carb Day, country star Keith Urban will perform May 27 as part of Legends Day festivities and electronic acts Zedd and Marshmello will share an Indy 500 Snake Pit bill on race day.
