🎶 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT 🎶

Closing out 2026 Summer Music Fest … ⚡️🔥
Sugar Hysteria

Some of you might remember Sugar Hysteria from last year’s festival — and this year they’re back to close out the night at Gettysburg Rec Park!

Based out of Hanover, PA, Sugar Hysteria is the brainchild of lead singer/rhythm guitarist Gwyneth and lead guitarist/backing vocalist Chris Ellis. When they put their creativity and energy together with bassist Jon Grimm and drummer Logan Scheivert, elements of modern alt-rock, melodic punk, and classic rock all merge together to create catchy, upbeat songs and a high-energy performance every time.

We’re excited to have them back for Summer Music Fest on May 23, 2026 closing the night out (7:30pm)! 🎸🔥
