Warrant to take the stage at the Indiana State Fair INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Rock band Warrant, with more than 40 years of history, will perform Wednesday at the Indiana State Fair. Fort Wayne native and Warrant guitarist Joey Allen said it is special to return to his home state and entertain loc al fans. The performance, part of the “Turn Up the Good Times” tour, starts at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday on the Hoosier Lottery Free Stage. The 1980s all-female rock band Vixen will open the show. Allen said the band tours regularly and occasionally releases new music. Their hit song “Cherry Pie” remains a staple, featured in more than 27 movies and recently gaining renewed attention from a series on Amazon Prime. Allen confirmed the band will perform the hit Wednesday night. Written in 1990 as a “tongue-in-cheek” addition to their record, “Cherry Pie” continues to resonate with audiences, Allen said. He noted that seeing others cover the song, especially when they stay close to the original, is a pleasure for the band. Allen said the band is “firing on all cylinders” and ready for the Indiana crowd. The setlist typically includes 17 to 18 songs, and Allen emphasized that the group is a “110% live band.” This story was formatted for WISHTV.com using AI-assisted tools.
