U.S. Air Force Band Starlifter To Play Rescheduled Oswego Concert

OSWEGO, IL — The U.S. Air Force Band of Mid-America's Starlifter will soon take the stage at Oswego's Venue 1012. The popular seven-piece ensemble will perform a concert Sept. 24, officials announced Monday.

The upcoming concert has been rescheduled to September after the original performance was supposed to take place during the weeklong Oswego Honors Veterans festivities in May but got rained out.

"We are so excited to be able to welcome back Starlifter," Village President Troy Parlier said in a statement. "I want to invite everyone in our community to come out to this opportunity to honor our veterans and have a great time. This concert will reach across all genres of music."

The band celebrates the country's love for rock, country and popular music while telling "the Air Force story by performing for military functions, community concerts, school assemblies and outdoor festivals at home and abroad, the village said in the event description. Later this month, they'll be doing that an hour and a half at the new entertainment venue, located at 1012 Station Drive.

The concert will start at 6:30 p.m. and go until 8 p.m. Admission is free for all ages, and guests can bring lawn chairs, food and non-alcoholic beverages.
