Tributes to Tom Petty and John Cougar Mellencamp

A night of heartland rock and American songwriting takes center stage as Pet the Cougar pays tribute to two iconic voices of classic rock—Tom Petty and John Cougar Mellencamp. From Petty’s timeless anthems and jangling guitars to Mellencamp’s blue-collar storytelling and Midwest roots rock, this show delivers the songs that defined decades of radio, road trips, and summer nights. Expect hits like Jack & Diane, Pink Houses, American Girl, Free Fallin’, Refugee, Hurts So Good, and more—performed with authenticity, grit, and sing-along energy.

Two legends. One stage. A night of pure American rock under the stars at Wildwood.
