Our final spotlight of the 8 bands to play at our 2026 Moose-a-Palooza Music Fest and Fundraiser.

🎸 Headliner Spotlight: The Big Al Wetzel Band 🎸
Get ready for one of the Midwest’s premier live bands!

We’re thrilled to welcome The Big Al Wetzel Band as the headlining act for the 9th Annual Moose-a-Palooza Music Fest & Fundraiser on Saturday, August 29 at the Batavia Moose Lodge.

Led by accomplished singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Allen “Big Al” Wetzel, this powerhouse band has built a reputation for delivering unforgettable live performances. Before forming the Big Al Wetzel Band, Al spent more than a decade touring the country and the world with the legendary Chicago country-rock band Hello Dave, sharing stages with artists including Keith Urban, Zac Brown Band, Kenny Chesney, Big & Rich, Jake Owen, REO Speedwagon, The Doobie Brothers, Huey Lewis & The News, Train, and many more. He also completed seven international tours entertaining American troops overseas.

Today, the Big Al Wetzel Band brings that same world-class experience to every show, performing an incredible mix of rock, country, pop, blues, funk, reggae, and crowd-favorite classics. Their tight musicianship, outstanding vocals, and infectious energy have made them one of the most sought-after festival and event bands throughout Illinois, Wisconsin, and the Midwest.

As part of an incredible day featuring 8 bands on 2 stages, Big Al Wetzel Band will have you singing along, dancing, and celebrating long into the night. Whether you’re a fan of classic rock, country favorites, or modern hits, this is a performance you won’t want to miss.

Best of all, your attendance helps make a difference. All net proceeds from Moose-a-Palooza support the Batavia Moose Lodge’s efforts to provide for the children and teens of Mooseheart Child City & School. Enjoy an amazing day of live music while helping change lives.
