Rucker stages Riverfront Revival festival in hometown
Set for Oct. 8-9 at North Charleston's Riverfront Park, the family-friendly will feature curated offerings of Lowcountry food, libations, art and culture along with music.
Trampled By Turtles, Charley Crockett, The War and Treaty, Radney Foster, Wild Rivers, Larry Fleet SUSTO, Nikki Lane, Lauren Jenkins, Maggie Rose and more across two stages from 1-11 p.m. daily.
"Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Charleston," said Rucker. "For years now, I've had this bucket list dream of bringing together a bunch of friends to perform in a way that also showcases this incredible city and all it has to offer. I can't wait to see it become a reality this fall, and I hope the fans are as excited as we are."
"Riverfront Revival will be the perfect culmination of feel-good music across genres set against the beautiful backdrop of the Cooper River," said SRE Entertainment Partner Rob Lamble, which is helping stage the event "We're thrilled to bring a new fall music tradition to the Holy City, and are honored to be doing so with Darius Rucker and his team."
"Darius is a home-grown star with a genuine love for his state, making him an incredible ambassador for South Carolina," notes Duane Parrish, Director of the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism, which is supporting the festival. "We are all looking forward to celebrating South Carolina's Lowcountry and welcoming thousands of visitors to this one-of-kind music festival in October."
Part of Rucker's passion for his hometown includes a desire to give back to the community, instilled by his late mother who was a nurse at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). He has raised millions of dollars for the hospital throughout his career and will continue to do so via Riverfront Revival, with $1 of each ticket sold supporting the MUSC Arts in Healing program.
General admission tickets start at $124.50 per person plus fees. VIP tickets start at $399.50 per person plus fees. A Rucker fan pre-sale starts May 2 with general admission tickets up for sale on May 4.
