You might have already heard the news, but it was confirmed last night that the band Cheap Trick will be the feature act for the Opening Night Concert at Riverfest on May 7. Cheap Trick replaces Bret Michaels who was forced to cancel his Riverfest appearance after suffering a brain hemorrhage last week
The Naughty Astronauts will open the Friday night concert at 6:30 p.m., followed by Cheap Trick at 8:30 p.m.
Cheap Trick created a substantial fan base in the mid 1970’s for their hard-edged pop sound. The band, who ranked 25th in VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock, is known for its popular hits “I Want You to Want Me,”” Dream Police,” and “The Flame”. Cheap Trick’s hottest album, Cheap Trick at Budokan, launched the band into international stardom and sent the single “I Want You to Want Me” to No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100.
We hope to see you all out next Friday night at the Festival! Lots of good times to be had!
