Hinder, Buckcherry, Pop Evil

The 99th National Cherry Festival is excited to announce an incredible night of rock music on the Pepsi Bayside Music Stage, presented by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. On Thursday, July 3, the stage will come alive with performances from Hinder, Buckcherry, and Pop Evil.

Hinder
Multi-platinum American rockers, HINDER, continue to drive a career of longevity that few bands achieve. As one of the few bands to grab massive cross-over success, HINDER’s 2005 debut album, Extreme Behavior, climbed to #6 on the Billboard 200 chart and was the 2nd Top Rock Album. Get Stoned would be the album’s first radio single, climbing to a #4 mainstream rock spot. What followed would end up being one of the biggest songs of the year, Lips of an Angel, which peaked within the top 10 across several Billboard singles charts, including #1 at Top 40 and Pop 100.

Buckcherry
Buckcherry is unique, complex, simple, passionate, explosive, original, and always a good time. Their ninth record HELLBOUND marks 22 years since our debut self-titled release and what an amazing roller coaster we have been on. From hit songs to platinum and gold records and millions of fans worldwide - all during a time period when traditional sounding hard rock bands didn't exist - except for Buckcherry. They beat the odds and built their reputation on the live shows, and their "one of a kind" approach to every opportunity.

Pop Evil
Pop Evil are a modern rock phenomenon. Led by their visionary founder and frontman Leigh Kakaty, the Michigan-born band’s storied career has seen them celebrate nine No.1 hit singles, seven smash-hit albums, and multiple Gold and Platinum certifications. Latest release “What Remains” puts the world on notice that Pop Evil’s next chapter is nigh: one that promises to push the band into heavier and bolder realms than ever before.
