Platinum rockers REO Speedwagon, surf rock icons The Beach Boys and rock legends STYX round out the rest of the concert series along with performances by contemporary Christian groups MercyMe, Newsboys, FOR KING + COUNTRY, and Skillet.
“Our lineup is packed with 14 award-winning Gold and Platinum artists and bands. We’re so excited to share these incredible shows and an entire Season packed with special events with our guests,” said Vigue.
General Concert Admission is included as a free benefit of a Wild Adventures Season Pass. Reserved seats for 2023 All-Star Concerts go on sale for Wild Adventures’ Diamond and Gold Passholders starting at 9 a.m. on Monday, February 27.
Silver Passholders and the general public can purchase reserved concert seats starting on Monday, March 6. Guests visiting with a daily park admission ticket will need to purchase General Concert Admission or a Reserved Concert Seat to attend a concert.
Wild Adventures’ 2023 Special Events begin with the park’s Easter Eggstravaganza on April 2, 7 and 8, featuring the largest Easter Egg Hunt in South Georgia and a chance to win two 2023 Gold Season Passes. Kids can hunt for thousands of eggs, take a photo with the Easter Bunny and enjoy plenty of festive fun.
“We’ll be hiding over 100,000 candy-filled eggs during the Easter Eggstravaganza, extending park hours and hosting live music during Sweet Summer Nights in June and July, honoring our military during the Celebrate America Festival and exploring fun and unique flavors during Wild Food Weekends,” said Vigue.
