Marquette, Mi- August 1st, 2022- This weekend, Yoopers all across the UP came to check out Negaunee’s biggest event of the year: Thunder on The Iron Range. Thunder on the Iron Range is a country music event permitted for all ages.
This year, the best U.P country music artists preformed at the Iron Range, including our very own Adam Carpenter and the Upper Hand, Blackberry Smoke, and international touring outlaw country songwriter Cecil Allen “PeeWee” Moore this Friday. On Saturday, Winger opened and was followed by Lita Ford, Firehouse, Chad Bordgen & The Collective, Stone Senate, and Spun, leaving fans in awe and on the edge of their seats for Sunday. Over four thousand fans were pressed to the barricades. Waiting was well worth it and Tom Katalin & Highway 41 proved it by starting the night off with a bang. Chasin’ Steel, Band of Heathens and Hellbound Glory played afterwards, closing out the night.
Some of the U.P’s top food vendors were onsite, filling hearts, minds and stomachs. The people of Negaunee thank Campfire Coffee, Midtown Bakery, Journey’s Eatz, Rollin’ Smoke, The Elks, and Smarty’s Bar for their hard work this weekend. Outdoor bars also kept the party going as the night went on, serving beer and more from local distilleries such as Blackrocks Brewery.
