(ATLANTIC CITY, NJ) -- Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena presents Rock and Roll Hall of Famer John Fogerty on Friday, October 31, 2025 at 8:00pm. Celebrate the timeless music of Creedence Clearwater Revival and Fogerty's legendary solo hits in an unforgettable night of iconic songs, electrifying performances, and classic rock energy.

Grammy winner, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, and Songwriters Hall of Famer John Fogerty is a towering figure in American music. As the leader of Creedence Clearwater Revival and as a solo artist, Fogerty forged an entirely distinctive sound—equal parts blues, country, pop, rockabilly, R&B, swamp boogie, and Southern fried rock & roll—alongside powerful, resonant lyrics, true workingman’s poetry.

His classic songs, including “Proud Mary,” “Fortunate Son,” “Born on the Bayou,” “Bad Moon Rising,” and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain,” have sold over 100 million copies. His 1997 Blue Moon Swamp won the Grammy for Best Rock Album, and his solo work has been nominated for a total of 8 Grammys over the years. He’s even the only musician to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame for his song “Centerfield,” a staple at ballparks across the country.

Tickets start at $79 and are available for purchase online. Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena is located at 1000 Boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Fogerty’s status as a legend has long been secure. What’s more remarkable, though, is how popular and influential his music remains after more than 50 years.

In 2025, Fogerty has continued this momentum with a series of high-profile appearances, including a keynote speech at SXSW, induction by Bruce Springsteen at the American Music Honors for his influence on American music, and fiery headline sets at JazzFest, Glastonbury, and the Hollywood Bowl. All this in the year which also sees him celebrating his 80th birthday.

This milestone is also being marked with the release of Legacy: The Creedence Clearwater Revival Years, an album which includes newly re-recorded renditions of 20 of Fogerty’s most beloved songs. Inspiration for this project began in 2023, after Fogerty fulfilled a longtime personal mission when, after a series of lawsuits, he acquired a majority interest of the worldwide publishing rights to his song catalog from Concord Records. But his wife, Julie, realized that the rights to the recordings themselves would never revert to him, and began floating the idea of cutting new versions backed by his family band.

“For many years, I had a struggle with the music business, the companies that I had been signed to way back when I was a kid,” says Fogerty. “I was always proud of the songs I wrote, but I had to do this weird mental separation between owning them and being the spiritual owner. Now that that was removed, my relationship to it all became different and it became really a nice feeling, especially working with my family.”
