The 32nd annual Chandler Ostrich Festival has announced its third and final headliner for 2020.

The Pointer Sisters will headline Sunday, March 15. 

The concert series kicks off Friday, March 13, with 98 Degrees, followed by Blues Traveler on Saturday, March 14.

Tickets are on sale now at OstrichFestival.com.

The Pointer Sisters are an American R&B vocal group who broke through in the ’70s with “Yes We Can Can” and their first Grammy winner “Fairytale,” topping the R&B charts with 1975’s “How Long (Betcha’ Got a Chick on the Side)” before hitting their stride with three gold singles “Fire,” “He’s So Shy” and “Slow Hand.” 

The hits kept coming well into the ’80s with “Automatic,” “Jump (For My Love),” “I’m So Excited” and “Neutron Dance.” 

The trio currently consists of Ruth Pointer, her daughter Issa and granddaughter Sadako. 

A Grammy-nominated boy band, 98 Degrees sold more than 10 million records, largely on the strength of eight Top 40 hits. They’re best remembered for “Because of You,” “The Hardest Thing,” the chart-topping “Thank God I Found You” (with Mariah Carey & Joe) and “Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche).”

Released in 1998, the band’s biggest-selling album, “98 Degrees and Rising,” was certified quadruple-platinum. They have sold more than 10 million records worldwide.

Led by the tuneful chromatic harmonica playing of frontman John Popper, jam-circuit veterans Blues Traveler scored an unlikely mainstream breakthrough in the ’90s with a Grammy-winning Top 10 smash called “Run-Around” and an equally contagious followup called “Hook.” Their latest effort, “Hurry Up & Hang Around,” arrived in 2018.
