The headliners for the 2017 Gretna Music Festival (September 29-October 1) have been announced and they are all illustrious and nostalgic musical groups. Huey Lewis & the News will be headlining Friday night, the iconic rock band, KISS, on Saturday night, and the B-52s will finish off the festivities on Sunday night.
