Get Ready, Charlotte! The Lovin’ Life Music Festival is Back!
Charlotte, are you ready to rock? The Lovin’ Life Music Festival (LLMF) is making its much-anticipated return to Uptown from May 2-4, and it looks like it’s going to be bigger and better than ever! With a star-studded lineup and tasty local flavors, this is the weekend to let it all hang out.
What’s the Buzz?
Last year, LLMF was such a hit, it SOLD OUT and brought in a whopping $32 million to our local economy! If you were there, you already know the vibe, and if you missed it, don’t worry! This year, from the charming streets of Uptown to the vibrant melodies wafting through the air, there’s something for everyone.
Headliners include huge names like Gwen Stefani, Benson Boone, Weezer, Pitbull, Dave Matthews Band, and Teddy Swims. Talk about a playlist of dreams! Each evening’s lineup is chock-full of talent, with performances kicking off at 2 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 1:30 p.m. on Sunday. Just imagine vibing under the stars with your favorite artists!
A Stellar Lineup
This year, the festival will showcase more than 50 acts, including exciting acts like Flipturn, Switchfoot, Lola Young, Gigi Perez, and local favorites like Petey Pablo and Sammy Rae & The Friends. It’s a fantastic way to dive into the local music scene while also enjoying some big names!
Get Your Tickets!
Thinking about joining the fun? You’ve got options! Grab a **single-day ticket** starting at just $129, or go for a **two-day ticket** at $259. Feeling ready to dive in for the full experience? A **three-day ticket** is yours for $319. There are different ticket tiers available, including General Admission, VIP, and Super VIP, so you can pick what fits your party spirit the best!
Three Stages, One Incredible Experience
LLMF won’t just have one stage to rock out on; there will be three! The action will be split between the Miller Lite Stage, the 5th Street Stage, and the QC Local Stage. With this much space, there’s no way you won’t find something that strikes your fancy.
Festival Logistics for a Smarter Visit
A friendly reminder: to keep everything smooth, there’s a clear bag policy in place. Only clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bags that are no bigger than 12″ x 6″ x 12″ will be allowed. You can bring things like empty reusable water bottles, non-aerosol sunscreen, blankets, or festival flags—just make sure there aren’t any metal or wooden poles!
You’ll want to keep the prohibited items in mind, too. Things like pets (only service animals will be allowed), professional recording gear, backpacks, chairs, or selfie sticks just won’t be part of the fun. But no worries, it’s all about enjoying the music and the crowd!
Local Flavor and Fun
This festival isn’t just about the music. Expect an array of delicious food from local vendors. Confirmed spots include Bossy Beulah’s, Amélie’s French Bakery, and great dishes from FS Food Group. Nothing beats good tunes and great eats! Plus, LLMF will pay homage to local culture by recreating a classic Charlotte spot, recalling last year’s nostalgia with the iconic Mr. K’s diner.
Party All Night Long!
After each night of rocking out, keep the night alive! Official after-parties will be hosted at popular local bars and clubs, so get ready to dance the night away with fellow music lovers.
