The International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE) has announced the return of The Rockin’ Pint concert series on Sunday, September 14 at 5 pm. Presented by AB Mauri North America, this year’s Rockin’ Pint promises to be even bigger and better than the inaugural event in 2022, featuring a headlining performance by iconic 1980s chart-toppers Wang Chung, followed by an after-party set from legendary baker and television personality Duff Goldman and his band Foie Grock.

The concert takes place in the West Hall Lobby of the Las Vegas Convention Center during the opening day of IBIE 2025, the Western Hemisphere's largest event for bakers, held September 14-17 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“We are thrilled to add The Rockin’ Pint Night to IBIE’s already stellar programming and expand the concert lineup even further,” says Jorge Zarate, IBIE Chair. “It’s been three years since our industry has come together, and there’s no better way to kick off the show than with an evening of great music, cold drinks and networking with friends and colleagues.”

British new wave band Wang Chung is known for its numerous 80s hits including “Everybody Have Fun Tonight,” “Dance Hall Days,” “Let’s Go!” and more. They will take the stage from 5 to 6 pm. Following their performance, Duff Goldman – acclaimed pastry chef, best-selling author, TV personality, owner of renowned bakery Charm City Cakes and bass guitarist – and his band Foie Grock will keep the 80s vibes going with a high-energy after-party set of covers from 6 to 7 pm. The band is expected to cover hits from 1980s chart toppers, including Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Billy Idol, INXS, Men at Work, Rush, Van Halen and more.

“AB Mauri is thrilled to partner with IBIE to bring this one-of-a-kind event to the baking community,” says Rick Oleshak, vice president of marketing, AB Mauri North America. “To kick off opening night of IBIE with the Rockin’ Pint Night perfectly embodies our company’s passion for baking and commitment to fostering connections within the industry. Where else can you see a rock star lineup of awesome ‘80s tunes and both raise a glass to the baking industry and reconnect with colleagues from around the globe.”
