Fresh off being named USA TODAY’s #1 Local Sports Bar in America, Ferg’s is swinging for the fences as the new year gets underway — and the hits just keep coming.
Located directly across from Tropicana Field, Ferg’s Concert Pavilion is kicking off 2026 with a lineup that blends legendary classic rock, high-energy live events, and fan-favorite national acts — reinforcing Ferg’s status as Downtown St. Pete’s premier sports, music and community hangout destination.
Headlining the latest announcement: FOGHAT & NAZARETH — a legendary classic rock double bill — go on sale tomorrow, Saturday, January 17, at 9 a.m., for their highly anticipated May 14, 2026 appearance at Ferg’s Pavilion.
General Admission tickets start at just $25, with VIP seating ranging from $59–$89. (Please see the full press release for both iconic classic rock bands below.)
The on-sale news comes as Ferg’s prepares for a string of major upcoming events, including Great White with Slaughter next week, a pre-Super Bowl celebration with Mark Farner (Grand Funk Railroad), and a February appearance by the unstoppable Reverend Horton Heat.
“Being recognized by USA TODAY is an incredible honor,” said Mark Ferguson, founder and owner of Ferg’s. “But what really excites us is continuing to bring people together every day of the year — for sports, live music, and unforgettable nights — right here in the heart of St. Pete.”
With an outdoor venue capable of hosting crowds from 500 to over 5,000, Ferg’s Pavilion, with its recently added large roof covering, continues to attract national touring acts while maintaining the community-driven energy that made Ferg’s a landmark in the first place.
