The Riverbend Festival lineup continues to expand as the U.S. Fleet Forces Band, Tower of Power, and G. Love & Special Sauce have been added to this year’s event. Also, for the first time, patrons can buy admission wristbands and tokens for making food and drink purchases at the festival from one location.
Beginning today, Harry’s Convenience Stores and area Food City locations will carry both.
Wednesday at Riverbend this year will celebrate all military branches and will be highlighted by a performance of the Navy’s 24-piece ceremonial group, the U.S. Fleet Forces Band. The band plays a mix of current top rock, pop and hip-hop hits. The band will play on the Coke Stage at 8:30 p.m. followed by headliner Dustin Lynch.
The Tower of Power has been rocking its horn-driven music since 1978. Best known for its hits “What Is Hip?,” “You’re Still a Young Man” and “So Very Hard to Go,” members play a blend of soul, funk, blues, jazz and R&B. The Tower of Power horn section has played with everybody from Aerosmith to Santana to Phish and Poison.
Tower of Power will play the Bud Light Stage on June 13.
