PEORIA, IL - With the team scheduled to play on the road for the first time in a decade, Dozer Park and the Peoria Chiefs will host a double-bill concert on July 4 with fans invited to stay at the stadium for a fantastic view of Peoria's downtown Red, White & Boom Fireworks Spectacular. Country artists Lainey Wilson and Adam Doleac will perform with gates opening at 5:30 p.m. and the show beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Doleac headlines the July 4 show and will take the stage around 7:45 p.m. A former baseball star who played in the 2009 College World Series with the University of Southern Mississippi, Doleac is currently heading up the country charts with his single "Famous". His 2014 single "I Put It On Ya" was chosen as an On the Horizon track by Sirius XM's The Highway. Doleac released a self-titled EP in 2017 after working with Darius Rucker and Kane Brown.

Among the songs on her Lainey Wilson EP are "Workin' Overtime" and "Waste of a Good Whiskey".
"For the last decade our fans have been used to coming to Dozer Park for baseball and the downtown fireworks on July 4 but unfortunately the team is on the road this season," said Chiefs General Manager Jason Mott. "We've been working hard behind the scenes to get an event at the stadium for families and fans of all ages so they can still enjoy an event and have a great view of the downtown fireworks."
On July 4 the Chiefs inflatables and kids area will be operational and FREE of charge for kids 12 and under. There will also be FREE face painting and balloon artists on the concourse. The stadium speakers will be switched over to 93.3 The Drive around 9:15 p.m. so fans can hear the music set to the fireworks.
