Soul Asylum will provide support for the duration of the run, adding their own catalog of hits to the lineup.
Jelly Roll headlines festival

The country music festival will feature Jelly Roll as the headlining act (because it seems like he gets all of those these days) along with Quinn XCII, Jessie Murph, Alexandra Kay, Warren Zeiders, Matt Hansen, and about a dozen others.
South Bend fest to be loud
South Bend’s annual Big Growl will be held May 4 at Four Winds Field.
It will be an event celebrating rock from the early part of this century as Seether serves as headliner with support from Saliva, Fuel, Saint Asonia, and current Breaking Benjamin and former Adelita’s Way guitarist Keith Wallen.
Seether will be out for the better part of this summer celebrating the 20th anniversary of their album Disclaimer II, which yielded the big hit “Broken” and sold more than a million copies in the U.S.
Night Ranger in Plymouth
Night Ranger will headline a night of 1980s hard rock at Plymouth Motor Speedway on Aug. 3.
As energetic as ever, Night Ranger never disappoint. Any time they come near our area, fans know they will get a dynamite show filled with hits.
To add to the evening, Jackyl will be on hand to provide their unique brand of rock after Firehouse and Enuff Z’ Nuff warm things up for the night.
