We are thrilled to announce The Sweet as the main headliner for the upcoming Stone Soup Music Festival! This legendary rock band shot to the top of the charts in the 1970s with such hits as Ballroom Blitz, Fox On The Run, Love Is Like Oxygen, Little Willy, Hellraiser, Teenage Rampage, Blockbuster and Action. The Sweet was created by founding member Steve Priest along with drummer Richie Onori, keyboardist/vocalist Stevie Stewart. They assembled a group of top caliber national act musicians which Priest could proudly hail to be on the same equal footing and adeptness as the original lineup. For well over a decade this group entertained millions of music fans across the globe delivering high-quality performances every single night. Priest’s handpicked band with an unparalleled chemistry continues to forge ahead with the same vigor, intensity & enthusiasm as always, delivering the “Sweet” brand onward into the 21st century, thus keeping Steve Priest’s vision and “Sweet’s” legacy fully intact. You do not want to miss this free concert Saturday, August 28th at 8:00pm on the Main Stage!
