The Petty Experience returns to the Palladium Side Door for what is sure to be another sold out show!
Based in St, Petersburg FL, The Petty Experience is the South’s #1 tribute to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. We aren’t like others. No standing still or wearing wigs. We entertain through a world-class show featuring not just amazing musicianship but also true stagecraft, complete audience interaction, stage props from Tom’s tours, regular guest artists, and so much more. The band can perform over 70 tracks from the Heartbreakers’ catalog, as well as songs by the Traveling Wilburys and some of Tom’s collaborators and favorite artists.
We’re not only a tribute. We’re an experience.
