Adams Avenue Unplugged, Saturday, April 26, 2025 Terry Reid to Headline Adams Avenue Unplugged will take place on Saturday, April 26, Noon to Midnight, along Adams Avenue, from University Heights through Normal Heights to Kensington. This exceptional music walkabout is free* and open to the public. Unplugged 2025 will feature 80 performances at 24 different venues including restaurants, bars, coffee houses, and the main stage located at the historic Normal Heights United Church. Adams Avenue businesses hope to treat musical aficionados and foodies to the rich neighborhood culture. This year’s headliner is Terry Reid ‘Superlungs’ as he’s affectionately known, is without doubt one of the greatest rock/soul voices Great Britian has ever produced or is indeed likely to. A Terry Reid concert should be a cherished memory for any self-respecting fan of the greats of British music. Terry turned down the front man’s job with Led Zeppelin, recommending his mate Robert Plant instead, a similar offer and rebuff to Deep Purple. Aretha Franklin’s stated that The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Terry Reid were the best England had to offer in 1968. He underwent two World Tours with The Rolling Stones, US tours with Cream, UK tours with Jethro Tull and Fleetwood Mac, The Isle of White Festival in 1969 and Glastonbury in 1970, played at Mick Jagger’s wedding, before soured record deals resulted in Terry leaving Britain for America nearly 40 years ago. Unplugged fans can catch their favorite artists while exploring the many local businesses along the Adams Avenue corridor. In addition to the numerous drinking and dining options along the avenue, attendees may also prefer the VIP craft beer garden located at the Normal Heights United Church next to the Main Stage (4650 Mansfield St). A $25 pre-sale beer and food ticket is available via the Unplugged website. Organizers encourage ridesharing and mass transit since Adams Avenue will be open to traffic.
