TOWER—Fortune Bay will be stepping back into time this summer as it rolls out a concert featuring Warrant, Quiet Riot, and Steven Adler of Guns N’ Roses.

The concert, aptly titled Fortune Fest, will take place outdoors on Saturday, August 29th.

However, as Fortune Bay’s Director of Marketing Hannah Lehti pointed out, this will be much more than just a concert.”

“This is an outdoor rock festival, not just a concert,” said Lehti, who has been working hand in hand with Events and Promotions Manager Elise Grabowski, dialing in all the details. “We’ll have food trucks featuring local fare, including some Fortune Bay favorites, drinks, games, and activities throughout the day.

Grabowski concurred and believes fans of all ages will be in for a great festival.

“I think the guests will enjoy being in a welcoming environment ready for a party surrounded by friends and family,” said Grabowski. “Working with the talent agency has been a great experience and we’re all excited to celebrate in style with rock bands that have so many hits—our team can’t wait to celebrate and make the summer of 2026 one for the memory books.

” The Northwoods Band, which has been a regional favorite for a few years since getting its start at Fortune Bay, will kick things off with a two-hour set from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Adler and his bandmates will take the stage from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and are sure to be belting out some of Guns N’ Roses' favorites, including Sweet Child O' Mine, Welcome to the Jungle, and the ever-popular Paradise City.

Following a 30-minute break, renowned 80s heavy metal band Quiet Riot takes the stage to undoubtedly fire up the crowd to “bang their head,” as they belt out songs like Metal Health, Cum on Feel the Noize, Mama Weer All Crazee Now, Slick Black Cadillac, and The Wild and the Young, among other fan favorites.

Headliner Warrant closes down the event with a 90-minute set that begins at 8:30 p.m. This fan favorite, especially with the ladies from the 90s, is best known for songs such as Cherry Pie, Heaven, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Down Boys, and Sometimes She Cries.

“These are the bands Midwest rock fans grew up on. Their music lived on the radio, in bars, on backroads, everywhere,” said Geoffrey Pitch, Vice President of Entertainment Buying at The Howard Pitch Entertainment Company. “That connection never went away, and that’s why they still draw strong, loyal crowds across the region.

” Tickets go on sale Friday, May 8. General admission is $59, gold is $69 and front of the stage premium access tickets are $79. For more information, visit fortunebay.com

“Fans can expect a high-energy, hit-packed show full of singalong anthems, powerful riffs, and nostalgic moments delivered with the same intensity that made these acts rock icons,” said Pitch.
