“This is great news for the entire region,” says Carey Harveycutter, Salem’s Director of Tourism. “We can’t wait for the festival to return to Salem Stadium, and we’re already making plans to enhance the fan experience.”

“We’re excited to come back to Salem bigger and better than ever,” states Mike Smardak, President of Outback Concerts.
