Petty performs at the 47th Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Awards Gala in New York.
The action plays out at American Family Insurance Amphitheater and Henry Maier Festival Park. Tickets to shows at the amphitheater are sold separately from tickets into the festival grounds, so make sure you know who is playing which venue.
