Truth be told, the inspiration for Here Come the Mummies has been wearing masks for 5,000 years and probably wonder what took the rest of civilization this long to catch up.
The band plays funk that hearkens back to the time the pyramids were being built. For the past several years, they have been sharing that music with fans in Chattanooga and they will return on Oct. 17 for a 7 p.m. show at AT&T Field, 201 Power Alley.
The show will be limited to 1,500 fans with social distancing and other Tennessee Pledge guidelines such as the wearing of masks being followed. Tickets will cost $25.
The show is being presented by Friends of the Festival, the organization that produces Riverbend and in recent weeks, Chattanooga Unite and the showing of “Jumanji: The Next Level” at the Tennessee Riverpark. Chattanooga Lookouts President Rich Mozingo said he has been approached by “tons of people about using AT&T in the last several weeks,” but didn’t feel comfortable about having large crowds in the ballpark.
“This is the first event since Aug. 28 of last year,” he said.
