If you love live music, you are going to love today's big concert announcement. I'm especially excited as we now know that Post Malone is working on a country album, on top of collaborating with Hardy on Hixtape Vol. 3: Difftape, a tribute to Joe Diffie. Posty has just been announced as one of the headliners for the inaugural Lovin' Life Music Fest, coming to Uptown Charlotte May 3-5, 2024.
The three-day music festival, a first for Charlotte, will showcase more than 40 artists across three stages, spanning multiple genres and generations. Headliners include: Global Superstar Post Malone, legendary singer/songwriter, Stevie Nicks, and American singer/songwriter, Noah Kahan. Additional artists will be unveiled in the coming weeks and months.
"After producing events all over the East Coast, we've dreamt of bringing a major music festival to Charlotte, and the Lovin' Life Music Fest is our passion project,” said Bob Durkin, Co-Founder and Partner of Southern Entertainment. “We're thrilled to support the ongoing effort to make our hometown of Charlotte a Music City in such a big way.” Southern Entertainment, a national entertainment and production company based in Charlotte, N.C. is responsible for acclaimed music festivals across multiple states, including the sold-out Carolina Country Music Fest in Myrtle Beach SC and the Barefoot Country Music Fest in Wildwood, NJ. The company has been a driving force behind Charlotte’s vibrant cultural scene for more than 25 years.
The festival anticipates drawing an estimated 90,000 attendees over three days, with a projected economic impact of more than $30 million in its inaugural year.
"Charlotte's ready for its own signature event,” said Rob Pedlow, Co-Founder and Partner at Southern Entertainment. “Lovin' Life will be our very own Charlotte-flavored Lollapalooza, a new economic engine for the Queen City creating jobs, supporting area nonprofits and drawing music enthusiasts from across the Carolinas and beyond.”
