The Band: The Wildflowers

Known as North America’s premier Tom Petty experience, The Wildflowers don’t just play the hits—they capture the spirit of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. From the jangly Rickenbacker guitars to those iconic vocal harmonies, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported back to a front-row seat at a Petty concert. Expect a setlist packed with essentials like “Free Fallin’,” “American Girl,” “I Won’t Back Down,” and, of course, “Wildflowers.”

Opening the night will be The Mood Kings, setting the perfect vibe for an evening under the stars.

The Venue: A Step Back in Time

Saloon Studios Live isn’t your typical concert hall. Tucked away on a scenic 180-acre mountain estate, this venue is a meticulous recreation of a 19th-century Old West town. Before the music starts, you can take a self-guided tour through the town, complete with a sheriff’s office, a blacksmith shop, and a functional saloon with saddle barstools!

The concert takes place on the Festival Stage, a natural amphitheater that offers breathtaking mountain views and an intimate atmosphere that large arenas simply can’t match.
