Sycamore Township is excited to announce that Mark Farner’s American Band will headline the 2025 Tire Discounters Festival in Sycamore! With over 30 million record sales worldwide, including 16 gold and platinum albums, Mark Farner is a rock’n’roll icon! As one of the founding members, lead singer, lead guitarist, and writer of more than 90% of the Grand Funk music catalog, Farner has always been known as the energetic driving force on stage, the engine that pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad to the top of the charts.

Decades later – he commands the stage with the same intensity performing epic hits that defined a generation – “I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home)”, “Bad Time”, “Some Kind of Wonderful”, “Foot Stompin’ Music”, “Heartbreaker”, “Locomotion”, “Mean Mistreater” and “We’re An American Band”.
