Former City Councilman Fred Richardson made the announcement Tuesday at the Mobile City Council meeting. The San Francisco-based alternative band has produced a string of major hits, like “Jumper,” “Semi-Charmed Life” and “How’s it Going to Be.”
“We’re going stronger, not weaker,” Richardson told FOX10 News. “This is going to be one of our greatest years.” “When we kicked off, there was a lot of doubters out there, saying it was the wrong move, I spent the money the wrong way,” he said. “We ended up with 15,000 people in the Cooper waterfront park.

MoonPie Over Mobile announced on Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2022, that the New Year's Even headliner will be Third Eye Blind.
