Cheap Trick bassist Tom Petersson playlists his songs of the summer ahead of ‘Under The Southern Stars’
Before Under The Southern Stars 2022 rolls into town this March, we’ve enlisted the help of Tom Petersson, the bassist from festival headliners Cheap Trick to put together the perfect summer playlist. Now you’ll be ready for the pre-UTSS roadtrip!
With over 5,000 performances spanning four decades, 20 million records sold worldwide, Cheap Trick have well and truly earned their spot as one of the most influential classic rock groups of the past 50 years.
They’ll join Bush, Stone Temple Pilots, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Rose Tattoo, Electric Mary, and more around the country for this year’s Under The Southern Stars festivities (be sure to check your festival date as lineups may vary).
