Texas-based trio Midland will headline this year’s Legends Day concert, an annual country music event presented the night before the Indianapolis 500.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway officials on Wednesday announced Midland, known for the songs “Drinkin’ Problem” and “Burn Out,” as the Legends Day performer on May 24.
For the fourth consecutive year, Everwise Amphitheater at White River State Park will host the concert. From the event’s debut in 2014 through 2019, the Legends Day show was presented at the infield of the track.
Midland, featuring vocalist-guitarist Mark Wystrach, bass player Cameron Duddy and guitarist Jess Carson, issued an album titled “Barely Blue” in 2024. The trio earned Grammy Award nominations in the categories of best country song and best country duo/group performance for 2017 hit “Drinkin’ Problem.”
Tickets for Midland’s Legends Day performance go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at livenation.com.
The Legends Day concert is one of three music events leading up to the 109th running of the Indianapolis 500. On May 23, Bret Michaels and the All-American Rejects will serve as co-headliners at this year’s Carb Day concert. The Indy 500 Snake Pit party on May 25 will feature performances by DJ-producer Illenium and four other electronic dance music artists inside Turn 3 of the track.
