The Struts, celebrated for their infectious energy and grand performances, offer an exhilarating musical touch to the festival. Hoochenanny is a tribute to the extraordinary, saluting the artisans and innovators, and enlivening the soul. With The Struts and a diverse array of supporting acts, fans are in for an evening bursting with energy, creativity, and the communal joy of music and spirits.
