Concertgoers will be sure to hear some holiday classics, along with a few Sidewalk Prophets originals from their 2013 release Merry Christmas To You, such as their No. 1 smash “What A Glorious Night” and the top 5 hit “Hey Moon.” Along with their holiday tunes, the band will also be sure to perform several of their notable radio hits throughout the evening.
