Kevin Bacon Revives 'Footloose' at Stagecoach Festival

Kevin Bacon and his brother Michael, performing as the Bacon Brothers, took the stage at the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California, where they delivered a lively rendition of the iconic 1984 hit 'Footloose.' The performance, shared widely on social media, featured Kevin on vocals and tambourine, with Michael accompanying on guitar, and included a few of Bacon's signature dance moves, much to the delight of the crowd. While Kevin is happy to perform the song live, he has expressed discomfort about being expected to dance to it at weddings, noting that these moments can become more about him than the celebration. The film 'Footloose,' which made Kevin a star, continues to be celebrated as a cultural touchstone decades after its release. Fans responded enthusiastically both in person and online, praising the high energy of the performance and the enduring appeal of Bacon's connection to the film and its music. Despite his longstanding association with the movie, Bacon revealed he was not a trained dancer when filming and has only watched it a handful of times.
