The Kentucky Headhunters will headline the 12th Annual Sparks in the Park Independence Day celebration on July 4 at the Beaver Dam Amphitheater. The Grammy Award–winning band will return to the stage alongside direct support from the Andy Brasher Band.

Gates open at 5 p.m., with music beginning at 6. The evening will conclude with a fireworks show immediately following the concert.

“This is what the Fourth of July in Kentucky is all about,” said promoter Heath Eric. “Fireworks, hometown pride, and a full night celebrating Kentucky music heritage. The Kentucky Headhunters are true rock stars and Grammy winners who helped define Southern rock and country. The last time they played in Beaver Dam, they sold out quickly. It doesn’t get any better than seeing a legendary Kentucky band headline Independence Day right here at home.”

Eric continued, “Fellow Kentucky native Andy Brasher brings soulful vocals, powerful musicianship, and authentic storytelling that perfectly sets the tone for this unforgettable celebration.”

Tickets will be available through a presale beginning Feb. 18 at 9 a.m., with public ticket sales opening Feb. 20 at 9 a.m. Lower Arena general admission seats start at $17.50 plus processing fees. A limited number of reserved tables will also be available. Lawn admission is free.

The Kentucky Headhunters, formed in rural Kentucky, rose to national prominence with their breakthrough album, Pickin’ On Nashville. The record sold more than two million copies and earned multiple industry awards, including a Grammy.

Over the decades, the band has built a reputation for high-energy performances and a signature blend of Southern rock, blues, and country influences.

The Andy Brasher Band, led by Kentucky songwriter Andy Brasher, has released six studio albums and continues to tour nationally.

Now in its 12th year, Sparks in the Park has become a regional Independence Day tradition, drawing thousands for live music and fireworks.
