We previously reported that the Thursday headliner will be Get the Led Out, one of the nation’s premiere Led Zeppelin tribute bands.

Today, Feast President Rick Fernandes announced the headliners for Friday and Sunday as well.

On Friday night, the headliner will be The Great Escape, a tribute to Journey. You can expect to hear all of your favorites such as “Separate Ways,” “Wheel in the Sky,” and of course, “Don’t Stop Believin’.”

Saturday night will be headlined by New Bedford's own Band Faith, which won the “New Talent” and “Música Popular” trophies at the star-studded 10th annual International Portuguese Music Awards.

On Sunday night, Danny Klein’s Full House will finish off the Feast festivities. Klein was the bassist and founding member of the legendary J. Geils Band, and his Full House group continues on the party rock tradition, playing the J. Geils hits like “Centerfold,” “Must’ve Got Lost,” and “Freeze Frame.”

The Feast of the Blessed Sacrament will feature four stages of free entertainment throughout the four-day event. For more information and the full entertainment lineup, visit the Feast website, and don’t forget to check out the Museum of Madeiran Heritage as well.
