Central Illinois…Get ready for another rockin’ concert this fall as 106.7 THE FOX “on the run” presents none other than ‘THE SWEET’ aka “SWEET”, with extra special guests: ‘TOMMY’S ROCKTRIP‘, coming to the Historic Lincoln Square Theater on Friday, September 25th, 2026. This show will be a sellout, so don’t procrastinate on getting your tickets! British rock band “The Sweet, “aka “Sweet,” rose to worldwide fame in the 1970s as one of the top three “Glam Rock Acts” of its era. This movement carved out a decade of new style & horizons for both music and fashion, which in turn helped fuel a new sexual revolution embracing an anything-goes attitude into Western society. “The Sweet’s” influence has been touted & revered across many genres, from Boy George to Kiss, to Poison to Guns & Roses. Yes, “Sweet” is a leading architect that did change music and fashion forever. The band achieved huge success with 39 #1 singles around the globe including “Ballroom Blitz,” “Fox On the Run” “Love Is Like Oxygen,” “Little Willy,” “No You Don’t” “Blockbuster,” “Action,” “Teenage Rampage,” and “AC/DC,” among many more…Decades later the late great founder Steve Priest came out of retirement to put together his version of how he wanted his legacy to be presented and preserved into the future. After hearing drummer Richie Onori & keyboardist Stevie Stewart, he was sold that he had finally found the perfect chemistry to forge ahead, respectively, and in honor of his fallen comrades. The three of them enlisted two more top-caliber musicians who could equally capture & deliver with the same intensity and prowess that his original line-up did. They were off to the races, performing hundreds of shows around the globe.​Currently, Stevie & Richie’s talented line-up proudly features the amazing Ari Kamin on lead vocals, blazing guitarist Jimmy Burkard, and the Keyboard wizardry of Dave Schulz.​ ​It’s anybody’s guess how long this iconic brand and band will delight music fans across both generational and societal divides, but, as Axl Rose (lead singer for Guns & Roses) put it on the Jimmy Kimmel show interview, he gave credit to two bands that influenced him the most growing up.  ​“Sweet” & “Queen” That says it all, doesn’t it?

Tommy’s Rock Trip is a dynamic musical journey and heartfelt tribute spearheaded by drummer Tommy Clufetos, renowned for his work with numerous rock legends. The show is a powerful celebration of heavy metal and hard rock history, primarily paying homage to the iconic sounds of Black Sabbath and the solo career of frontman Ozzy Osbourne!

The setlist is a deep dive into the classic catalogs of these metal pioneers, delivered with an authentic, raw energy that resonates with dedicated fans. Beyond the core tribute to Sabbath and Ozzy, Tommy’s Rock Trip expands its scope to honor a broader spectrum of rock royalty. The show often includes covers and nods to the theatrical shock-rock of Alice Cooper, the industrial-metal fusion of Rob Zombie, and the raw, unbridled guitar rock of “Motor City Madman” Ted Nugent!
