Warsaw Parks and Recreation Department also announced on WRSW radio this morning that Jerrod Niemann will be the main entertainment at the annual country concert set for July 20.
Both concerts are free at and at the Glover Pavilion in Central Park.

Night Ranger’s appearance is part of the band’s 35th anniversary world tour in support of a new album, “Don’t Let Up,” which was released in March.
The band has sold 17 million albums worldwide and performed more than 3,000 live shows, according to the group’s website.
