SMYRNA — Pop-rock band Smash Mouth will headline this year’s 10th anniversary of Smyrna at Night on June 15.

In the late ‘90s, Smash Mouth embarked on a relentless touring spree, solidifying their live performer status with universal appeal. As the 21st century dawned, they transitioned into an international household name, forever woven into the fabric of popular culture.

A trove of international awards, accolades, and achievements over three decades cements Smash Mouth’s legacy. Their TV and film appearances include a record-breaking stint on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” and pivotal roles in “Rat Race” and “Shrek.”

Beyond tours with icons like U2, Lenny Kravitz, *NSync, and KISS, Smash Mouth’s versatility shines through collaborations with showbiz legends ranging from Engelbert Humperdinck to George Clinton to Neil Diamond.

Between 1997 and 2002, they notched six top-20 hits, dominating the airwaves at the turn of the century. Two of these hits, “Walkin’ On The Sun” and “All-Star,” soared to No. 1 and lingered there, with the latter recently surpassing 1 billion streams on Spotify. Their social media acclaim, recognized by Billboard, Rolling Stone, Newsweek and many other prominent outlets is a testament to their enduring influence, with a YouTube channel boasting over 1 million subscribers.

The five musicians in Smash Mouth (Paul DeLisle, Zach Goode, Michael Klooster, Randy Cooke and Sean Hurwitz) have solidified their international reputation as world-class musicians and performers.

No tickets are required for Kent County’s largest outdoor festival. The day will also include shopping, kid-friendly activities, food and local beer, wine, and cocktails.

There will be three stages with 18 bands.

Other announced acts include Eric Hutchinson an international platinum-selling singer, songwriter and seasoned touring artist.

He has performed in all 50 states and has shared the stage with acts such as Kelly Clarkson, OneRepublic, Jason Mraz, Amos Lee, O.A.R., and Lawrence. His single “Rock & Roll” earned him his first platinum record in the United States and the song became a No. 1 hit in several countries.

Also playing will be local favorite Love Seed Mama Jump.

The band has shared the stage with such notable acts as Dave Matthews, The Beach Boys, Beck, Matchbox-20 and Fuel and the B-52s.
