Next up at Penn's Peak in Jim Thorpe is the double-header concert, Blue Oyster Cult and Foghat, on Friday, May 2.

For nearly four decades, Blue Oyster Cult has been thrilling fans of intelligent hard rock worldwide with powerful albums loaded with classic songs. The Long Island based band is revered within the hard rock and heavy metal scene for its pioneering work.Blue Oyster Cult occupies a unique place in rock history because it's one of very few hard rock/heavy metal bands to earn both genuine mainstream critical acclaim as well as commercial success.The band is often cited as a major influence by other acts such as Metallica, and Blue Oyster Cult was listed in VH1's countdown of the greatest hard rock bands of all time.The intense creative vision of Blue Oyster Cult's original core duo of vocalist/lead guitarist Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser, and vocalist/rhythm guitarist Eric Bloom are complemented by Richie Castellano on guitar and keyboards, and the longtime rhythm section of bass guitarist Rudy Sarzo (ex Ozzy, Whitesnake, DIO), and drummer Jules Radino.FoghatIn the late 1960s, Roger Earl & Lonesome Dave Peverett first toured America as members of the seminal British band "Savoy Brown."Together with guitarist Kim Simmonds, "Savoy Brown" was on the cutting edge of the emerging British blues-rock scene, and they influenced countless musicians on both sides of the "pond." In 1971, wanting to give a more rock 'n' roll flavor to the blues-boogie music they were playing with "Savoy," Dave and Roger enlisted lead/slide guitarist Rod Price and bassist Tony Stevens to form the new band "Foghat," and the rest is part of rock 'n' roll history.The past few years, Foghat has reached a whole new generation of fans largely as a result of their incessant touring and also due to its songs appearing on such popular home video games as Guitar Hero III; numerous movies such as "Dazed and Confused," "Wild Hogs," "Bottle Shock" and "Halloween II"; numerous TV shows; and ads such as Honda among others.Foghat has never stopped touring and recording. The 2010 version of Foghat comprising Roger Earl, Craig MacGregor, Charlie Huhn and Bryan Bassett has been together for 10 years since the passing of Lonesome Dave. They continue to tour relentlessly because they just love to play, and after every show they go out to meet their fans. They still epitomize that classic blues-rock slide guitar sound, and that is what Foghat is all about.The schedule for Penn's Peak concert events is as follows:May• 2 Blue Öyster Cult with Foghat, 8 p.m. Tickets $35 advance, $40 day of show.• 4 Winery Dogs, 8 p.m. Tickets $22 advance, $27 day of show.• 9 Fitz and The Tantrums with Night Terrors of 1927, 8 p.m. Tickets $21 advance, $26 day of show.• 18 Paul Barrere and Fred Tackett of Little Feat with The New Orleans Suspects, 7:30 p.m. Tickets $20 advance, $25 day of show.• 30 Dark Star Orchestra, 8 p.m. Tickets $24 advance, $29 day of show.June• 6 Pablo Cruise, 8 p.m. Tickets $23 advance, $28 day of show.• 7 Ryan Pelton, 8 p.m. Tickets $22 advance, $27 day of show.• 13 Live Wire with Exciter, Judas Priest Tribute Show, 8 p.m. Tickets $17 advance, $22 day of show.• 20 REO Speedwagon, 8 p.m. Tickets $25 advance, $40 day of show.• 26 Happy Together Tour 2014, 8 p.m. Tickets $39 reserved, $44 premium reserved.• 27 Jamey Johnson, 8 p.m. Tickets $32 regular reserved seating, $37 Pit (standing room only).• 28 7 Bridges with Clyde Barrow and the Legendary Barbusters, 8 p.m. Tickets $18 advance, $23 day of show.July• 18 B.B.
