Rock with your favorite music as Springfest brings headliners to the Main Stage. 

Friday Night 8pm While the AQUANETT experience is anchored by the sound of '80s metal bands like Bon Jovi and Whitesnake, don't expect a run-of-the-mill club band that just stands in the corner. Quite the opposite - this is one of the most decadent and colorful tribute acts today. Imagine Hollywood ... the Sunset Strip ... when bands like Motley Crue and GnR ruled the world. This is the scene AQUANETT re-creates night after night. With a complement of lights, special effects and the full production of an '80s rock concert is brought to life on your stage. It's wild, flashy and full of the decadence that marked the '80s. It's the sound, the clothes, and of course, the hair...but most of all, it's pure fun. Seeing is believing, but know that AQUANETT is truly an experience, unlike anything you have seen before...or at least since 1991! Aquanett celebrated their 20th Anniversary in 2020!

Saturday Afternoon: Kyle Vincent at 2pm Barry Manilow calls Kyle Vincent “One of the best singer-songwriters to come along since the heyday of Tin Pan Alley.” Goldmine proclaims him to be “The Crown Prince of Soft Pop”

American Songwriter praises, "There's something boldly human about Vincent's work, something that illuminates it with true sublimity"

UMG/Universal recording artist Kyle Vincent is a triple threat—a first class entertainer, a top-notch vocalist, and a critically acclaimed songwriter/recording artist who has charted with a Top-20 single. He has had his songs on network television shows, MTV, VH-1, and in major motion pictures. Vincent has shared stages and recording studios with some of the biggest acts in the music business, including being the opening act for Barry Manilow’s Greatest Hits Tour.

Kyle tours the world throughout the year, playing countless shows for his dedicated fan base. He has recorded with many legendary hit makers such as Gerry Beckley (America), Robert Lamm (Chicago), among others. Kyle did a stint as lead singer for a reformed Ian Mitchell’s Bay City Rollers and has also sung lead for Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods. "I'm pretty much the go-to guy when some wayward 70s act needs a new front man!" Vincent jokes. 

His solo albums have received strong critical praise, winning him several performance and songwriting awards including BEST MALE VOCAL at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards; BEST POP SONG at the Dallas Songwriter’s Association Awards; Top 10 at the Australian Songwriter’s Awards, and Semi-finalist at the UK Songwriting Awards.

Kyle Vincent puts on an engaging, high-energy show, weaving humorous and heartfelt tales, as one of the few entertainers who can seamlessly shift musical gears from rocking out on one song to breaking your heart on the next. 

As Billboard says, "Don’t miss a chance to see this charming and talented artist in action”
