WIXX welcomes multi-platinum Smash Mouth and their world-wide “Go For The Moon Tour 2026” to Paperfest at Sunset Park in Kimberly, WI for a free concert on Thursday July 16, 2026 sponsored by AIT Business Technologies. Smash Mouth is a Grammy-nominated, American rock band whose unmistakable sound and feel-good energy helped define a generation of pop culture. Bursting onto the global stage in the late 1990’s, Smash Mouth quickly became a household name with chart-topping hits like “Walking on the Sun,” “All Star,” and their iconic re-imagining of “I’m a Believer.” Their music dominated radio and major film soundtracks, most notably becoming forever woven into pop history through the Shrek franchise. Smash Mouth comes to Northeast Wisconsin for a night of pop rock fun at Paperfest.
With millions of records sold worldwide, Smash Mouth has earned multiple platinum certifications, Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 singles, and enduring global recognition for songs that continue to stream, sync, and resonate across generations. Smash Mouth is entering an exciting new chapter with the announcement of their forthcoming 2026 album, Mercury Comet, a release that promises to honor their legacy while pushing their sound forward.
