Foghat’s original show was canceled last year due to numerous cancelled flights related to the nationwide IT outage, but fans will now get to experience the dynamic live performance the band is famous for. Boasting an impressive eight gold albums, one platinum, and one double platinum record, Foghat brings decades of rock music and a whole lot of energy to each show. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Foghat’s iconic anthem “Slow Ride,” and concertgoers can look forward to Foghat unleashing tracks from their latest #1 Billboard Blues album “Sonic Mojo.”
The evening will also feature the highly anticipated Hot Air Balloon Glow sponsored by Fox Communities Credit Union at dusk. Spectators can marvel at the glowing hot air balloons lighting up the night sky and even take a tethered ride for a unique festival experience.
Foghat will be accompanied by opening acts: Broken Arrow and American Platinum. Broken Arrow playing your favorite rock hits. American Platinum continues to rise in popularity and is best known for their energetic sets and talented musicians playing the best rock and country.
