Looks like we have a brand new country music festival in the works…
And this one hails from none other than Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The newest festival from Live Nation, who put on festivals like Watershed in George, WA, Tortuga Music Festival in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and Seven Peaks Music Festival in Colorado, the new country music festival is called TidalWave Music Festival and is slated for August 12th-14th.
Live Nation festivals always tend to have a pretty heavy focus on mainstream Top 40 country, but they’re generally so big that you can probably fund a few artists you like.
Next year’s show will consist of headliners Luke Bryan and Morgan Wallen, as well as the likes of Riley Green, Tracy Lawrence, Jon Langston, Runaway June, Lainey Wilson, HARDY, and more.
A 3rd headliner as well as more artists are still to be announced.
Brian O’Connell, President of Country Touring at Live Nation, weighed in on the upcoming festival:
“TidalWave Music Festival is an experience we’ve been curating for a long time. We knew we wanted to bring our country music festival concept to the North East coast but, the location had to be just right.
The perfect spot by the ocean in Atlantic City. We can’t wait until next summer to bring these world-class acts, alongside a tailor-made festival experience.”
Three day passes for the new festival go on-sale Monday, December 13 at 10 AM.
Something tells me you might hear Riley Green cover “Atlantic City.”
