March 26, 2026 — John Fogerty will celebrate one of his most beloved albums with the release of Centerfield (Hall of Fame Edition), a newly remastered version of his iconic 1985 solo record, arriving this summer via Concord. The announcement arrives in tandem with Major League Baseball’s Opening Day, honoring the enduring legacy of “Centerfield” as the sport’s defining anthem. Fogerty remains the only musician ever inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame — a testament to his lasting cultural impact.
Sourced from the original half-inch master analog tapes and remastered by Emily Lazar, Centerfield (Hall of Fame Edition) presents the album with renewed clarity while preserving the spirit of the original recordings. Not only were all of the songs written by Fogerty, but he also played all of the instruments himself—a unique feat few artists have achieved. The remastered vinyl edition features the classic nine-song album exactly as originally released, accompanied by deluxe packaging. Expanded CD and digital editions will include newly released live performances of “Centerfield,” “Rock and Roll Girls,” and “Old Man Down the Road,” recorded in 2024 with Fogerty’s family band, featuring his sons Shane and Tyler Fogerty. Centerfield (Hall of Fame Edition) is available for pre-orders HERE.
The announcement arrives amid a major run of live activity for Fogerty, including a standout performance at Mexico City’s Vive Latino festival, the conclusion of his Las Vegas residency, and a special appearance this week at Madison Square Garden for the “Thank You, NYPD” concert honoring New York City’s first responders. The March 28 event at MSG will feature Fogerty alongside Cyndi Lauper, Fat Joe, and more, celebrating the city’s service community.
The news follows a landmark year for Fogerty, who will receive the Johnny Mercer Award — the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s highest honor — at the organization’s Induction and Awards Gala on June 11 in New York City. The award recognizes a body of work that has shaped American music for generations.
In 2023, Fogerty regained the publishing rights to his legendary catalog, a long-sought milestone he celebrated with the 2025 album Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival years, featuring newly recorded versions of 20 of his most beloved songs created alongside his family band. Produced by Fogerty and his son Shane, with executive production by his wife Julie, the album debuted in the top 10 across multiple U.S. and global charts and earned widespread acclaim from Rolling Stone, NPR, The Guardian, Billboard, the Los Angeles Times, Vulture, People, MOJO, and more.
Within the past year, Fogerty has been inducted at the American Music Honors, received the BMI Troubadour Award, delivered headline sets at JazzFest, Glastonbury, SXSW and The Hollywood Bowl, performed on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, sat down with CBS Sunday Morning for a profile, performed an NPR Tiny Desk Concert, and celebrated his 80th birthday with sold-out shows at New York’s Beacon Theatre.
The release of Centerfield (Hall of Fame Edition) will lead directly into Fogerty’s upcoming fall LEGACY tour with Steve Winwood. Please see all upcoming tour dates below and visit https://johnfogerty.com/ for tickets and more information.
In 2026, John Fogerty remains one of the most influential figures in American music. Through his acclaimed solo career and as the songwriter, singer, lead guitarist, producer and arranger of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Fogerty forged a singular sound blending blues, country, rockabilly, R&B, and swamp rock — emerging as one of the first artists to popularize the swamp rock sound on a national scale — with powerful, working-class storytelling. His iconic songs — including “Proud Mary,” “Fortunate Son,” “Born on the Bayou,” “Bad Moon Rising,” and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” — have sold more than 100 million copies worldwide, with multiple tracks surpassing one billion streams. Meanwhile, Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits has spent more than 14 consecutive years on the Billboard 200.
