Title
Centennial Park West Labor Day Concert Event - Sixteen Candles
History
On September 4, 2016, the Village will host its annual Labor Day concert at Centennial Park West from 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. For a number of years, staff has attempted to bring Sixteen Candles to Orland Park. Due to their popularity, the band has not been available. In 2016, staff has been successful at securing a date to bring this highly sought-after band to Orland Park.
Sixteen Candles is the ultimate 80’s cover band in the Chicago area, with over 384,000 likes on Facebook, this high energy, fun loving band fuses nostalgia and style to create a sound spectacular unlike any other. Playing favorites like: Hungry Like The Wolf by Duran Duran, Take Me Home Tonight by Eddie Money, Purple Rain by Prince, Piano Man by Billy Joel and much more, they are sure to be a hit at this year’s Labor Day concert. Staff recommends contracting with Sixteen Candles to headline the Labor Day concert at Centennial Park West, September 4, 2016, performing 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. for $5,500. The Labor Day concert will feature an opening act (TBD) from 3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
