The Dodge County Fair is turning up the excitement on Saturday with a special treat for fans of 80s and 90s music. 38 Special is back for another unforgettable performance on the Moraine Park Technical College Main Stage! As part of their 2025 50 Year Legacy Tour, the legendary rockers will be making Beaver Dam a stop for the third time. The concert kicks off at 8pm on August 16. Decades have passed, music trends have changed and some band members have stepped away – but 38 Special will deliver the same classic hits and unstoppable energy that you remember from their peak – and you won’t be able to forget it.
With over 20 million albums sold, and a dozen albums in their discography, 38 Special has delivered southern-rock anthems that have become instant classics over the decades. “Hold On Loosely,” “Rockin’ Into the Night,” “Caught Up in You,” and “Second Chance” are just a handful of these unforgettable hits that pull fans in from the very first chord and fuel the high-energy performances that keep fans coming back for more. Don’t miss your next chance to experience this legendary sound and sing along in person.
The group boasts an impressive track record with twenty Top 10 singles, fifteen Top 5 hits, and an incredible seven Number 1 chart-toppers. It’s no wonder they’ve earned six Vocal Group of the Year Awards from both the CMA and ACM, along with fourteen Grammy nominations.
