keyword "amphitheater" ?
I've been coming since 1998 when I moved from Melbourne FLA to Indianapolis, used to go to the Ecklers deal, not as big and nice as Funfest mind you
I however, typically don't come over unless there is a band Saturday night specifically c

Can you say "foul ball"?Just found out that with the City of Effingham's new entertainment tax, that our convention center events are considered a trade show. So let me get this straight. We have over 35 suppliers come in from all over the US to display their products, put on about 36 informational seminars and we are not a trade show. Sell some land in Effingham for some land in Nashville!!
Illinois politicians doing there best.

There ALWAYS is a band on Saturday night.
Mike ALWAYS waits until the end of July / beginning of August to announce the entertainment.
This year, (as quoted above) there will be MORE than 1 band as the head lining act on the Main Stage.
This is unchartered territory for Funfest.
I am really looking forward to this year's event.
Will be my 22nd year attending.
Just purchased my VIP pass.
Can't wait for September!

World Classic Rockers will be there again this year, they were there for Funfest 2012.
World Classic Rockers Return to the Funfest Amphitheater Stage!
Mid America Motorworks is thrilled to announce the return of World Classic Rockers! Performing Saturday, September 16, 2017 in Effingham, Illinois, World Classic Rockers consists of former members of rock and roll's greatest bands: Journey, Santana, Kansas, Steppenwolf and Lynyrd Skynyrd. The band will perform a night of chart-topping classic rock hits including "Don't Stop Believing," "Sweet Home Alabama," and "Carry on Wayward Son."
Making their Corvette Funfest debut in 2012, World Classic Rockers performed a Saturday evening concert that was easily one of the most memorable in recent Funfest history, begging the question: are Corvette Funfest 2017 guests ready for an encore?
“We all have bands that we would love to see on the Funfest stage again and again,” said Mike Yager, Chief Cheerleader at Mid America Motorworks. “World Classic Rockers was a no-brainer. For one thing, these are genuine, down-to-earth guys who put on an outstanding show. Every generation of Corvette enthusiast can identify with and enjoy these songs. It’s going to be an awesome night!”
World Classic Rockers, the world’s premier rock and roll all-star band, will give Corvette Funfest attendees a chance to enjoy a night of their favorite hits from several of the most prominent musicians and singers of all time. With their ability to bring audiences to their feet night after night, the World Classic Rockers are sure to give an unforgettable performance which has become the standard for Saturday night entertainment at Funfest.
The 24th Annual Corvette Funfest is scheduled for September 14-17, 2017 at Mid America Motorworks’ corporate campus in Effingham, IL. The headlining Saturday evening concert is a highlight of the four-day event that will celebrate the 1967 Corvette Sting Ray. Register today at http://registration.corvettefunfest.com/default.aspx to participate in the Largest Corvette Party in the World. Corvette Funfest attracts thousands of enthusiasts from around the world, with four full days of activities designed to promote the Corvette hobby.
