A popular 90s country revival show is headed back to Hutchinson this weekend, with strong ticket demand already signaling a packed dance floor at the 1861 Club on the Kansas State Fairgrounds.
The Kansas State Fair Foundation is hosting “90s Revival: All Hat, No Cadillac” on Saturday, Feb. 14, at the 1861 Club. Doors open at 7 p.m., with the concert beginning at 8 p.m. Table seating for the event sold out within hours late last year, leaving standing-room-only tickets still available.
James Fisher, with the Kansas State Fair Foundation, said the Austin-based band drew overwhelming positive feedback after performing at the foundation’s Boots & Bling fundraiser last August.
“If we had one person ask us to bring them back, we had 100,” Fisher said. “Once they start playing, people hit the dance floor and they don’t leave.”
The concert features the band All Hat No Cadillac, known for high-energy performances and crowd interaction. Fisher said nearly all table purchases came from attendees who had previously seen the group perform.
The show also marks the launch of the Liquid Aloha Concert Series at the 1861 Club, sponsored by Kona Brewing.
Maddie Burns, venue and operations manager at the 1861 Club, said guests should be prepared to dance rather than sit.
“If you love 90s country, you’re not going to need a seat,” Burns said. “You’ll be on the dance floor all night.”
The venue will offer cocktail tables, a coat check, and indoor amenities to make winter travel easier for attendees. Organizers are also encouraging guests to support local restaurants before the show as part of a Valentine’s Day evening out.
Beyond the concert, the Kansas State Fair Foundation is also preparing for several upcoming events at the 1861 Club. On Sunday, Feb. 22, the venue will host Everything Weddings & Events from 1 to 4 p.m. The showcase will feature local vendors offering services for weddings, corporate gatherings, fundraisers, and other special events. Admission is $10.
Later in March, the Liquid Aloha series continues with “HaHa Hutch” on March 27, featuring Hutchinson native and comedian Brett Riley. Tickets for that event are now on sale.
