Wang Chung will elevate the nostalgia with hits such as “Everybody Have Fun Tonight” and “Dance Hall Days,” aiming to get the audience dancing in the aisles. Completing this incredible lineup, John Cafferty, renowned for his work with the Beaver Brown Band and favorites like “On the Dark Side,” will bring his rock vigor to the stage.
