Carolina Country Music Fest: A guide to who’s performing at the 2020 Myrtle Beach event
As the saying goes, the show must go on, and Carolina Country Music Fest is still scheduled with a new wave of artists announced to perform at the Myrtle Beach event.
Joining headliners Luke Combs, Darius Rucker, Erich Church and an array of talent at the highly anticipated four-day outdoor event will be The Voice contestant Ashland Craft, “Good Time” singer Niko Moon, country rock band Whits End, “Man Enough Now” crooner Chris Bandi, up-and-comer Ian Munsick, and North Carolna-based band Jukebox Rehab.
This annual event is scheduled for June 4-7.
The event has become a staple in Myrtle Beach since its inception in 2015, attracting more than 30,000 country music fans who come dressed to party in their cowboy boots and country garb. The shows are held at Burroughs & Chapin Pavilion Place on Ocean Boulevard between 8th and 9th Avenues North.
With the coronavirus pandemic causing attendees to question if the event will be canceled or postponed, festival runners have responded to many comments on the Carolina Country Music Fest Facebook page asserting they are monitoring the situation and will give fans plenty of notice if changes need to be made.
“We are continuing to plan for a party on the beach!” one Facebook post read.
