• Adam Floyd

Wild Adventures Theme Park in Valdosta, Georgia, will turn up the volume on Saturday, May 10, as Southern rock legends 38 Special take the stage for an electrifying performance during the 2025 Wild Adventures LIVE! Concert Series.

Known for their explosive live shows and timeless hits like “Hold On Loosely,” “Caught Up in You,” and “Rockin’ Into the Night,” 38 Special has captivated audiences for over four decades with their blend of arena-rock anthems and Southern grit.

“We are excited to welcome 38 Special to Wild Adventures,” said Adam Floyd, director of sales and marketing. “Their music defined an era and continues to energize fans of all ages. It’s going to be a powerful night of rock under the stars.”

With over 20 million albums sold and a reputation for high-octane performances, 38 Special remains a touring powerhouse, playing to packed venues across the country. Guitarist and vocalist Don Barnes says the band’s commitment to bringing their best to every show has never wavered.

The concert begins at 8 p.m. on May 10. General Concert Admission is included free with a 2025 Season Pass.
