This weekend, Ruoff Music Center will be rocking with Hootie & the Blowfish as they bring the "Summer Camp with Trucks" tour to Noblesville at 7pm Saturday.
What's happening: Joined by special guests Collective Soul and Edwin McCain, the veteran band is hitting 43 cities this summer in their first full music tour since 2019.
- "Basically overnight, our lives changed when "Cracked Rear View" did what it did. And yet as we quickly moved from vans and college bars to tour buses and arenas, not much else changed with how we approached making music and sharing it with our fans," lead guitarist Mark Bryan said in a statement.
- Tickets start at $54.60.
