Their classics, “Celebrate,” “Get Down On It,” “Fresh,” and many other songs are what made Kool & the Gang famous.

Touring alongside the legendary group will be The Earth Wind & Fire Experience, led by guitarist Al McKay from the original band. All of their popular funk band songs, such as September, Let’s Groove, Boogie Wonderland, Fantasy, You Want My Love, and more, are expected to be performed by the tribute band.
