Kool & The Gang Announced for 2025 Outer Banks Summer Concert Series
The iconic funk band Kool & The Gang is coming to Roanoke Island Festival Park this Labor Day Weekend as part of the summer concert series presented by Live From OBX. Read on for more from today’s official announcement.
Grammy Award-winning funk legends Kool & the Gang become the newest announced show headed to Roanoke Island Festival Park for this year’s Live from OBX Concert Series.
Kool & the Gang, officially launched in 1969. Thanks to iconic songs like “Celebration”, “Cherish”, “Jungle Boogie”, “Summer Madness”, and “Open Sesame”, they’ve earned two Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, 25 Top Ten R&B hits, nine Top Ten Pop hits, and 31 gold and platinum albums.
From Nairobi to Newark, Kool & the Gang has performed continuously longer than any R&B group in history and their bulletproof funk and jazzy arrangements have also made them the most sampled R&B band of all time. A reviewer recently called their performance “a 24-karat show” and every year, even after a half-century on the road, yields a non-stop schedule of shows across the globe.
The heavily-in-demand band has continued to tour the world, appearing most recently alongside Kid Rock, Dave Matthews Band, Elton John, The Roots, and a 50-city tour with the legendary rock band, Van Halen.
This summer’s Outer Banks show is presented by Live From OBX and Big Spring Entertainment, as a part of the Live From OBX concert series.
Kool & The Gang will be live in concert on Saturday, August 30, hitting the stage at 6:30 p.m. at Roanoke Island Festival Park in Manteo.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. this Friday, April 18 at LiveFromOBX.com.
Stay tuned and keep watching this space for more 2025 concert announcements coming soon.
