We are excited to welcome back The PettyBreakers with Second Hand News to the 2025 Concerts at Memorial Park!
8-9:30P | The PettyBreakers
What started out in 2010 as a regional band is now the Nations’s #1 touring tribute to Tom Petty. The PettyBreakers are known for their performances dedicated to capturing the essence and sound of a live Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers concert.The band has played in 26 states and Washington D.C. Having performed at many performing arts centers, theaters, casinos, clubs, festivals and corporate and other private events, one of the highlights so far was performing the iconic catalog of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers live at the Naval Yard in Washington D.C. in 2018 for Major League Baseball’s Allstars Pregame Celebration.
6-7:15P | Second Hand News
Second Hand News recreates the experience of seeing Fleetwood Mac in their heyday. The band features spot-on vocal harmonies, careful attention to detail, and electric live shows. Audiences are energized by dynamic deliveries of favorites from the band's extensive catalog of hits as well as deep cuts beloved by superfans. The fun these musicians have recreating these classic songs together is infectious and will bring you to your feet in shared appreciation for one of the greatest bands of all time.GENERAL INFORMATION
