The festival runs Thursday, June 4, through Sunday, June 7, at Burroughs and Chapin Pavilion Place at 812 N. Ocean Blvd., with roughly 35,000 people expected to pour into downtown Myrtle Beach.
- Four headliners anchor the weekend on the Coors Banquet main stage: Riley Green on Thursday, Luke Bryan on Friday, Blake Shelton on Saturday and Post Malone on Sunday.
- Drivers not attending should avoid downtown and instead use Highway 17 Bypass or Robert Grissom Parkway rather than Kings Highway, Sgt. George Johnson of the Myrtle Beach Police Department said.
- Myrtle Beach has already closed a portion of Ocean Boulevard between Eighth and Ninth avenues North, with additional closures phased through June 11.
- The designated rideshare pickup area has moved this year to Ninth Avenue North between Kings Highway and Broadway Street, and the city recommends using 506 Ninth Avenue North in navigation apps.
- Festivalgoers should hydrate often and seek out red-shirted personnel or the Tidelands Health medical tent if they feel ill, with MBFD Capt. Jon Evans saying “hydration issues or healing heat illnesses” are the most common problems they see.
