GRETNA – KISS, Huey Lewis & the News, and the B-52s will all headline the 2017 Gretna Heritage Festival.
The festivities kick off when Huey Lewis takes the stage on Friday, September 29.
Legendary rock band KISS will take over on Saturday, September 30, with Canadian rock band Our Lady Peace opening for them.
The B-52s will bring their own brand of campy 80s dance tunes to the stage on Sunday, October 1 to close out the three-day festival.
