Darius Rucker’s Riverfront Revival Music Festival will return for its fifth year October 9-10 at Riverfront Park in North Charleston, South Carolina.

Founded by the Charleston native and three-time GRAMMY Award winner, the two-day event will once again bring a mix of established acts and rising talent to the waterfront.

This year’s lineup stays rooted in country while incorporating hip-hop and various styles, reflecting the festival’s evolving sound.

Rucker will be joined by Gavin Adcock, Old Dominion, BigXthaPlug, Nelly, Charles Wesley Godwin, Chase Matthew, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, Austin Williams, Atlus, Dani Rucker, Gullah Collective, Karley Scott Collins, Saluda Shoals, Mel Washington, Whiskey Run, and AC Scar.

“Riverfront Revival has always been about bringing great music and great people together in a place that means everything to me,” Rucker said. “Getting to build this in Charleston year after year has been incredible, and this lineup shows how much it’s grown while still staying true to what the festival is all about.”

Presales are now open, with general tickets going on sale Wednesday, April 8, at 10 a.m. local time via RiverfrontRevival.com. Two-day passes will be available in General Admission, GA Plus, and VIP tiers, with single-day passes also offered.
