The Duluth Airshow made the official announcement July 2 on their Facebook page that the 2022 show will feature the Air Force Thunderbirds! The Air Force Thunderbirds have a storied history:

On May 25, 1953, just six years after the U.S. Air Force became its own branch of service, the Thunderbirds were born as the Air Force’s official air demonstration team. The team, designated the 3600th Air Demonstration Unit, was activated at Luke AFB, Arizona. Over the years and with many different aircraft, the Thunderbirds have continued to represent those who deserve the most credit: the hardworking Airmen who serve our country every day.
