Tucson, Ariz. (March 6, 2026) – CQ Fest, the new concert festival hosted by the Tucson Conquistadores, recently announced the full concert lineup for the Friday, March 20 show at Rillito Park (4502 N. First Ave) in Tucson. GRAMMY® award-winning trio Lady A will be joined by Country group Parmalee, rising Nashville star Redferrin, Tucson’s own Leeanne Savage, as well as the Southern Reins Band – the winner of KiiM-FM and Desert Diamond Casino’s Battle of the Bands contest. CQ Fest tickets, including general admission and VIP options, are available at www.TucsonCQ.com.
Presented by sponsors Raytheon, VIP Mortgage and Kaiser Garage Doors, CQ Fest is an all-ages concert festival. Rillito Park gates will open for the concert at 3:30 p.m. on March 20, with the opening act scheduled to begin at approximately 4 p.m. There is limited parking at the venue, therefore CQ Fest suggests concertgoers take advantage of ride share options.
Presented in partnership with Tucson-based DM50, CQ Fest is a military appreciation concert. A limited number of complimentary concert tickets are available for U.S. active duty and military veterans who pre-register through the event’s website, TucsonCQ.com. DM50 advocates on behalf of the Airmen of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, strengthening relationships between the Base and the educational, commercial, political, and social leadership of greater Tucson.
One of the 21st century’s premier vocal groups, Lady A blends deeply felt emotions with classic Country sounds. As a Country-radio staple, the trio has amassed record-breaking success ushering in 10 No. One hits with more than 18 million album units and 34 million tracks sold and nearly five billion digital streams.
Parmalee is one of Country Music’s most successful acts with five No.1 singles, multiple platinum records, and over 1 Billion on-demand streams. Their five No.1 singles include “Carolina,” “Just the Way” with Blanco Brown, “Take My Name”(Billboard’s Most Played Country Song of 2022), “Girl In Mine,” in 2023 and “Gonna Love You,” which topped the charts at the end of last year.
Redferrin’s debut EP, Old No. 7 (which released February 16, 2024), featured seven songs, all co-written and co-produced by the Tennessee native. Old No. 7 proved to be massively successful, boasting over 275 million global streams, spawning viral hits as “Just Like Johnny” and “Jack and Diet Coke,” both of which have earned RIAA GOLD certifications, amassing 167M and 121M global streams respectively, and landing a coveted spot on Spotify’s Viral 50 (US) chart.

About the Cologuard® and Cologuard Plus™ tests
Developed in collaboration with Mayo Clinic, the Cologuard® and Cologuard Plus™ tests are first-line, noninvasive colorectal cancer (CRC) screening options for adults aged 45 or older who are at average risk for the disease.
The Cologuard test revolutionized CRC screening by detecting specific DNA markers and blood in stool associated with cancer and precancer, allowing patients to complete the collection kit at home without special preparation or time off, and return the kit to the lab for results. It is included in national screening guidelines from the American Cancer Society (2018) and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (2021). Since its inception in 2014, Cologuard has been used to screen for more CRC 20 million times.
Building on this success, the FDA-approved Cologuard Plus test raises the performance bar even further and features novel biomarkers, improved laboratory processes, and enhanced sample stability. Through high performance, the Cologuard Plus test is designed to reduce the likelihood of false positives, helping to minimize unnecessary follow-up colonoscopies. Both tests demonstrate Exact Sciences’ commitment to improving CRC screening access and outcomes.
