(KAIR)--Although the calendar says December, thoughts of summer are evoked as the headliner for Atchison’s LakeFest country music concert is announced.

Kip Moore will hit the stage July 19 at Atchison’s Warnock Lake:

According to a press release issued Wednesday by LakeFest Coordinator Jacque Pregont, Moore is a “fast rising country music star” who “will provided an exciting night of exceptional entertainment.” She notes, in the release, that Moore’s latest single, “Last Shot,” is currently climbing the charts; and that, coupled with his previous number one hits, offers the promise of “great entertainment.”

Prior to Moore taking the stage during the annual concert at Atchison’s Warnock Lake, two other acts, as tradition holds, will also perform, and Pregont says that announcement is expected be made very soon.

LakeFest annually serves as the opening, and a highlight, of Atchison’s Amelia Earhart Festival, held each July to honor Atchison’s famous one-time resident.

The famed aviator was born in Atchison where she lived for a portion of her younger years.

The festival, planned for July 19 and 20, will mark its 23rd year.

Gift certificates for the concert are available for purchase at the Atchison Area Chamber of Commerce, located at 200 South 10th Street.

Beginning May 1, the $25 certificates can be exchanged for tickets to the concert.

Advanced tickets will begin to be sold on that date at the same price, but will increase to $35 the day of the concert.
