From Staff Reports
VALDOSTA – Officials with Wild Adventures Theme Park announced Friday that two new country artists, Frankie Ballard and Canaan Smith, have been added to the 2018 Flash Foods and Circle K Summer Concert Series lineup, and the previously scheduled Scotty McCreery concert has been moved to 2019.
“We are just as disappointed as everyone else,” Director of Marketing Patrick Pearson said of the McCreery cancellation. “But we are very excited to add Frankie Ballard and Canaan Smith to the 2018 lineup on May 5, and we are already enthusiastically preparing for McCreery’s performance next year.”
According to Pearson, reserved concert seats for Scotty McCreery will be honored for Frankie Ballard and Canaan Smith on May 5.
Ballard’s best-known songs include “Sunshine & Whiskey,” “It All Started With a Beer,” “Young & Crazy,” and his breakthrough No. 1 hit, “Helluva Life.” He has appeared on the Grand Ole Opry and played packed arenas opening for Kenny Chesney and major tours with Taylor Swift and longtime idol Bob Seger.
Smith released his Mercury Nashville debut album “Bronco” in 2015 and has toured extensively with Darius Rucker, Dierks Bentley and Florida Georgia Line. His hit single, “Love You Like That,” is a fan favorite hit and one of the best-selling singles of 2015, followed closely by his popular party anthem “Hole in A Bottle.”
Every performance in the 2018 Flash Foods and Circle K Summer Concert Series is included with park admission or 2018 Season Pass.
