Ugly Kid Joe with Special Guests Wheatus and Platinum Moon
August 23 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm
Ugly Kid Joe (a spoof on glam-metal outfit Pretty Boy Floyd) formed in 1989 around vocalist Whitfield Crane, guitarists Klaus Eichstadt and Dave Fortman, bassist Cordell Crockett, and drummer Mark Davis.
The group’s knack for crafting infectious pop-metal with touches of funk and a bratty, parodic sense of humor was evident on their debut single, “Everything About You,” which went Top Ten and helped their EP As Ugly as They Wanna Be become the first short-form LP ever to be certified multi-platinum.
Wheatus: It’s been 25 years since the release of “Teenage Dirtbag”, and somehow Wheatus’ now iconic debut single is arguably the biggest it’s ever been. And to celebrate this milestone, the band returned to the UK and Ireland in November / December 2025 and played their debut album in its entirety each night. Platinum Moon opens the show!
