Foghat at Paperfest 2025

Foghat Rescheduled for Paperfest 2025

KIMBERLY – 105.7 WAPL proudly welcomes Foghat back to the Paperfest stage after missing 2024 due to travel issues caused by the widespread CrowdStrike outage. Foghat will headline the 37th Annual Paperfest presented by Community First Credit Union on Saturday, July 19, 2025. The legendary classic rock band will take the stage for a free concert sponsored by Jack’s Maintenance Service at 9:30pm in Kimberly, bringing their signature hits like “Slow Ride” and “Fool
for the City” to the Paperfest crowd.

Foghat’s original show was canceled last year due to numerous cancelled flights related to the nationwide IT outage, but fans will now get to experience the dynamic live performance the band is famous for. Boasting an impressive eight goldalbums, one platinum, and one double  platinum record, Foghat brings decades of rock music and a whole lot of energy to each show. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Foghat’s iconic anthem “Slow Ride,” and concertgoers can look forward to Foghat unleashing tracks from their latest #1 Billboard Blues album “Sonic Mojo.”

The evening will also feature the highly anticipated Hot Air Balloon Glow sponsored by Fox Communities Credit Union at dusk. Spectators can marvel at the glowing hot air balloons lighting up the night sky and even take a tethered ride for a
unique festival experience.

The concert begins at 5:00pm with Broken Arrow playing your favorite rock hits. American Platinum, on the rise in popularity and best known for energetic sets and talented musicians playing the best rock and country, will go on at 7:30pm. Foghat will close down the Event Production Systems Sunset Stage at 9:30pm. The free concert is sponsored by Jack’s Maintenance Service.
