Mighty Mussels hosting Michael Jackson tribute concert on May 10

FORT MYERS, Fla. - May 1, 2025 - PRLog -- The Fort Myers Mighty Mussels are hitting the rewind button on pop music, bringing music fans back to the 1980s and 90s through a postgame Michael Jackson tribute concert on May 10.

The live concert, which is free with a game ticket, features Danny Ware, an acclaimed Michael Jackson impersonator, singer and tribute artist. He will perform on the veranda of Hammond Stadium at the Lee Health Sports Complex after the final out.

"Usually we want fans to just 'Beat It' after the game, but this time, it's OK to be 'Bad' and stick around for the postgame 'Thriller,'" said Managing Partner John Martin. "This is the first of three performances through our Summer Concert Series and we'll be playing the 'King of Pop's' music between innings, and maybe even moonwalk in the grandstands."

The Summer Concert Series continues June 7 with Nashville country music artist Kelsey Hickman and June 21 with Blink-180 Deux, a Blink-182 cover band.

In addition to the Michael Jackson tribute concert on May 10, the game also features Beerfest, Bark in the Park and a special fundraising event to support United Way of Lee, Hendry, and Glades.
