Waverly Heritage Days
Waverly Heritage Days

Waverly Heritage Days started out as “Heritagefest” as an October celebration offering a car club show, German brats, brat pizza, German beer, potato pancakes and desserts, pumpkin carving, hay rides, craft sale, Nachwanderung (night hike), Wartburg’s athletics and Renaissance Fair, music and dancing attracting thousands. Heritagefest was later moved to mid-September. In 1995 the celebration was renamed “Waverly Heritage Days” and in 1996 it was moved to mid-July.

Throughout the years, hundreds of volunteers have helped host a variety of memorable activities, with the parade as the staple of the festival. Now, big bands entertain large crowds and fireworks light up the sky, giving the community more reasons to gather and celebrate.

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to travel back to the golden era of rock and roll.
Please welcome to the stage: Arch Allies!

The Ultimate Tribute Experience
Arch Allies isn’t just a cover band; they are a high-octane, choreographed journey through the greatest hits of the 1970s and 80s. Emerging as one of the premier tribute acts in the United States, they have mastered the art of the “Multi-Tribute” show. Instead of focusing on just one legend, Arch Allies brings you the definitive hits of six legendary bands that defined the stadium rock sound: Styx, REO Speedwagon, Journey, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, and Boston.

A Sight to Behold: The Production
When Arch Allies rolls into town, they don’t just bring instruments—they bring an entire atmosphere. Designed to replicate the feeling of a massive 1985 arena tour, the production value is second to none.

Stadium Lighting: A massive, computerized light rig bathes the stage in vibrant colors, flashing in perfect synchronization with every drum beat and guitar solo.

Video Wall Technology: Behind the band, a state-of-the-art video wall displays custom graphics, nostalgic imagery, and cinematic visuals that enhance the storytelling of each song.

Atmospherics: The air is filled with the dramatic flair of professional smoke and haze, creating that classic rock-concert mystique.

The Grand Finale: No true stadium show is complete without a celebration. When the energy hits its peak, the room explodes with confetti, turning the venue into a giant party.

The Sound: World-Class Vocals. The backbone of Arch Allies’ success is their relentless commitment to musical accuracy. To tribute bands like Journey or Boston, you cannot simply “get by” on vocals—you have to soar. The vocalists of Arch Allies possess the incredible range required to hit Steve Perry’s high notes, the soulful grit of Kevin Cronin, and the operatic power of Brad Delp. The harmonies are lush, the guitars are soaring, and the rhythm section provides a thunderous foundation that keeps the crowd moving from the first note to the final encore.

The Setlist: The Soundtrack of Your Life. Every song in the Arch Allies set is a “10 out of 10” on the recognition scale. This is a sing-along band in the truest sense. There are no “deep cuts” or obscure B-sides here—only the anthems that have lived on FM radio for decades.

A Nationwide Sensation
Based in the Midwest but performing all across the United States, Arch Allies has built a massive following of “Allies” who travel far and wide to see them. Whether they are playing a massive outdoor festival, a packed casino showroom, or a historic theater, the mission remains the same: to provide an escape into a time when the music was big, the hair was bigger, and the choruses were eternal.

Arch Allies bridges the gap between the past and the present, proving that the music of these six legendary bands is timeless. It’s a family-friendly, high-energy, soul-stirring show that leaves audiences exhausted from dancing and hoarse from singing.

Are you ready to rock? Put your hands together and join the ranks of the Allies. Give it up for Arch Allies!
