Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to Perform at the Verizon Wireless Music Center in Noblesville July 3

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will be performing live at the Verizon Wireless Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana on Thursday July 3 at 7:30 pm.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers released their first album in 1976 but did not gain recognition until 1977 after the re-release of the single “Breakdown,” which peaked at #40 on the charts in 78.  The band followed the album with Your Gonna Get It!, featuring “I Need to Know” and “Listen to Her Heart” which later became the band’s first gold album.   The band’s third album, Damn the Torpedoes quickly went platinum and featured the band’s breakthrough singes, “Don’t Do Me Like That” and “Refugee.”

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are spending 2008 on their North American Tour performing at venues across the United States and Canada.  Steve Windwood will open for every show.

Formerly Deer Creek Music Center, the Verizon Wireless Music Center is owned by Live Nation.  The Noblesville, Indiana outdoor amphitheater is the largest outdoor venue in Central Indiana and seats up to 6,000 under a pavilion and can accommodate 18,000 on the general admission lawn.

Previous shows at the facility include Ozzfest and the Vans Warped Tour.

The Grateful Dead performed one of their final shows at the music center.  On July 7, a rear fence was stormed by several fans trying to see the band perform without paying resulting in the cancellation of the show the following night.
