Sam Hunt, TLC And Pitbull Help Light Up ‘Lallycooler’ in Sioux Falls

If you missed this past weekend's Lallycooler Music Festival at Great Bear Ski Valley in Sioux Falls, don't make that mistake again next year!

It was truly a party! The Lallycooler folks were right on the money when they said it will be the coolest thing you'll be able to do this summer!

Day one kicked off on Friday night, July 11, as Lallycooler went country featuring the likes of Confederate Railroad, Tyler Braden, and Redferrin, all helping to set the stage for the evening's headliner, Sam Hunt.

For a while, it looked as if Mother Nature might throw us a little curveball, but in the end, the evening turned out to be excellent as headliner Sam Hunt sounded great performing under the stars for about 90 minutes beginning at 10:00 PM.

The party really got started on Saturday as hometown favorites Kory & the Fireflies kicked off Day two's fun starting at 4:00 PM. Things got progressively hotter as the evening went on, with Frank Ray, Uncle Kracker, TLC, and finally Mr. Worldwide himself, Pitbull, ratcheting up the entertainment temperature to the max as he capped off Lallycooler 2025 with an insane sounding Fireball of a show to wind up a picture perfect Sioux Empire night!

The Lallycooler vibe!

As a music child of the 70s and 80s, I have to admit I wasn't overly familiar with the music catalogs of some of these artists, but after watching them perform, I was greatly impressed by all of them, especially TLC and Pitbull.

Both of those artists did an exceptional job of captivating the Lallycooler crowd as I watched the sea of people in attendance sing along to massive hits like "Waterfalls", "Creep", "Timber", "Fireball," and "Give Me Everything" at the top of their lungs!

There's no denying that both artists know how to put on a party, as they had the entire Lallycooler crowd eating out of their hands from beginning to end.

I couldn't help but notice all the people wearing their Pitbull skullcaps, throwing back Fireball shots, singing, dancing, and raising the roof!

The stage presence and sound being generated by both performers Saturday night built an excitement level that lathered up the 10,000+ Lallycooler crowd into a wild frenzy and electrified the people of the Sioux Empire all night long!

I have a feeling that after last weekend, when you look up the definition of the word party, it will undoubtedly say, "Lallycooler!"

You should probably start thinking about getting your Lallycooler 2026 Festival Passes right now. I don't know how they'll be able to top this year's party, but I'm confident they'll find a way!
