(KAIR)--The Band Perry has been named as the headliner for Atchison’s 2022 LakeFest concert, replacing the originally scheduled Gabby Barrett.

According to a release, Barrett is unable to perform at the July 15 concert due to scheduling conflicts.

LakeFest annually serves as the kickoff for Atchison’s Amelia Earhart Festival, held to honor famed Atchison native and aviator, Amelia Earhart.

The release, issued by Festival Coordinator Jacque Pregont, calls The Band Perry, a Grammy Award-winning sibling trio, “an unstoppable presence in modern music,” with Pregont calling them “terrific entertainers,” while adding that while “having to make a change is always difficult,” the chart topping trio will make for “an amazing show.”

The Band Perry, which has sold two and a half million albums, thirteen million singles, and over 2 billion combined streams, is planning to release their third country album later this year.

They join country artist Michael Ray and singer/songwriter Erik Dylan, an Atchison County native, in performing at the LakeFest Concert, held each year at Atchison’s Warnock Lake, as “the prelude to a full day of [Amelia Earhart Festival] festivities” the next day, Saturday, July 16, in Atchison.

The LakeFest gates and concessions will open at 4:00 on the afternoon of July 15, at the lake, with the concert opening at 7:00 with the singing of the National Anthem.

Dylan will take the stage immediately following, with Ray performing after, at approximately 8:15, followed by the headlining Band Perry at around 9:45 that night.
