Kenny Loggins will headline this year’s Good Life Festival in Queen Creek after announcing his retirement from touring at the conclusion of his upcoming dates — now branded as a farewell tour — which will find him on the road through October.
“It’s been an amazing journey since starting with Jimmy Messina in 1971, and I’m fortunate to have had such a long touring career,” Loggins said in a statement. “I don’t see this as the end of my professional career but certainly a halt to the grind of major touring.”
Billed as the "This Is It" final tour, the legendary Loggins promises to “sum up the emotional story of my music” with each performance.
One of those performances will be next month at the 12th Annual Shea Homes Good Life Festival presented by Subaru March 25-26 at Schnepf Farms in Queen Creek.
The Good Life Festival is a two-day rock concert that will feature Loggins as this year's headliner and rock bands Kansas and Blue Oyster Cult along with food and wine, craft beer and bourbon sampling, shopping and more. The performing celebrity musicians will showcase their musical artistry on the outdoor stage for fans to enjoy. Saturday gates open at 1:30 p.m. and on Sunday gates open at 12:30 p.m.
For the first time, the festival will feature a “Complete Circle of Care” pavilion presenting the most advanced breakthroughs in health, including the SenSights app, a cloud-based platform that delivers remote monitoring, personal emergency response and telehealth services for seniors, with the first 5,000 guests receiving a companion SenSights watch; Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) suite technology that sends electrical pulses emulating benefits of a full body, intensive work out; artificial intelligence health technology breakthroughs; antiaging breakthroughs and more. It will be a true health and wellness experience offering complimentary advanced, cutting-edge technology, artificial intelligence breakthroughs in health, meet leading specialized physicians with expertise in areas of anti-aging as well as strength and conditioning, and shop for state-of-the-art physiological and anti-aging products.
Legendary rock band Kansas, creators of classic hits “Carry On Wayward Son” and “Dust In the Wind,” will perform on Saturday, March 25, while "This is it" singer/songwriter Loggins will bring fans into the "Danger Zone,” feeling "Footloose" and yearning to “Return to Pooh Corner" during the second day of the festival on Sunday, March 26. Other musical acts on Saturday will include 1964 The Tribute and Steve Augeri, famed lead singer of Journey.
General admission is $50 with reserved seating ranging from $75 to $100. There is also VIP ticket upgrades and $25 Beverage Tasting Passports are available onsite. Tickets are on sale now at TheGoodLifeFest.
