To celebrate this milestone, music lovers will unite on the tropical beaches of Frank Brown Park from August 30 to September 1, 2024 to hear from a total of 18 different acts, including four Country Music Hall of Fame inductees who represent over 50 years of Country hits.
“I’ve been doing this for 40 years, and without question, this is the biggest show we’ve ever put on,” said Executive Producer Rendy Lovelady. “We’re excited to celebrate five decades of Country music in Panama City Beach!”
Who Will Be Performing Each Night?
The Kickoff Jam is presented by the producers of Gulf Coast Jam Presented by Jim Beam and hosted by Storme Warren, popular host of TuneIn’s The Big 615.
Night one of the three-day weekend will be led by the critically acclaimed group, ALABAMA, featuring a special appearance from Randy Travis. Jamey Johnson, Tyler Farr, Gavin Adcock, Pam Tillis and Catie Offerman will also take the stage throughout the event on Friday, August 30
Saturday, August 31, fans will be treated to performances by NEEDTOBREATHE, Lauren Alaina, Restless Road, Carter Faith and Kayley Green before 8-time GRAMMY® award winner Carrie Underwood takes the stage to round out the star-studded evening.
