“I used to be a woman, but now I’m a man,” shouted Foxy Shazam singer Eric Nally — Welcome to Buzzfest 28.

A festival that began as a yearly event in 1995 sponsored by KTBZ 94.5 The Buzz eventually became so popular that organizers decided to do it bi-annually and it has yet to disappoint.

A rock concert this big means it can only be held in one place — Ford Pavilion. The Mass Chaos Tour with co-headliners Godsmack and Staind sharing headlining status will roll into Beaumont on Tuesday, April 24 with gates opening at 5:30 p.m. with a showtime of 6:30 p.m. Also performing will be Halestorm and Man Made Machine.
