As a tram volunteer "Concert Night" usually means we get off work early because they pull the rigs off the streets due to the invasion of non-aviation types crowding the roads.. I don't much follow modern music acts or country and western stuff but I wonder out loud is there exists a group or single entertainer that wouldn't be objectionable to some group of convention attendees? Seems like C/W is pretty popular in that area of Wisconsin so EAA planners picked entertainers within their parameters and budget. No harm, no foul. Thems what likes it will stay and enjoy, thems what don't...won't. I expect huge crowds regardless.
Probably not—you are never going to please everyone as this thread illustrates. They most likely have to stick to “least objectionable” acts within the budget and that’s always going to be a compromise, especially since the concert is free. Retread Rock acts seem to be the goto genre. This year’s Country acts (nobody use the term Country & Western anymore) is only the 2nd one that I can recall over the past 15 years or so.

Wow Randy, You got off work for a concert ? Never happened to me. Guess I need to have my conductor tell more jokes. LOL
Depends on which route - If security closes off the main road thru the exhibits, anything north of there would be trapped so they get pulled. If my aging memory serves - lol - or am I thinking about a special air show event? I dunno. I just want July to get here already, I wanna see the airplanes!

There is a big country music festival going on in Oshkoshright now ! Across the street from EAAhttp://www.countryusaoshkosh.com
One would think Wisconsin C/W music fans would get there fix and be looking for a change, by the time AirVenture Shows up.
A C/W music smorgasbord this year in Oshkosh.
I guess if you can't beat'em might as well join'em
I agree...I like the old Western music...but not this...Anyway, I'm glad the people that attend Oshkosh are better about respect in the campgrounds than those who attended the "music" event across the road....remember the way the trashed the campgrounds and facilities with litter and beer bottles.
