🎸 ONCE IN A LIFETIME — THE LEGACY TOUR IS COMING TO CHARLOTTE! 🎸
Two of rock’s greatest legends are sharing one stage — and we’ve got a group headed there!
John Fogerty (Creedence Clearwater Revival) and Steve Winwood (Traffic, Blind Faith) are bringing The Legacy Tour to Truliant Amphitheater in Charlotte on Tuesday, September 16th.
We’re talking decades of timeless hits — Proud Mary, Bad Moon Rising, Higher Love, The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys — performed live under the stars by the men who made them famous. This is NOT a show you want to miss.
🍽️ We’ll be meeting up for dinner before the show — (see Nick and Mike’s bar and Grill event)
👉 RSVP now and grab your tickets before they’re gone. Seats won’t last long for a bill like this.

A few attendees have tickets in Row O, seats 28-30. An October event feels like a long way off, but tickets will be probably sell out eventually. I recommend getting your tickets ASAP.
