TidalWave Music Festival returned to the beaches of Atlantic City, New Jersey over the weekend with an impressive lineup, including headliners Thomas Rhett, Jason Aldean, and Brooks & Dunn.
Bringing three days of music and unforgettable fun to festival goers, TidalWave Music Festival took place August 11, 12, and 13 in an idyllic setting that seamlessly blended the magic of Country music with the beauty of the beach.
The festival featured two stages: the Next From Nashville stage, which showcased Music City’s hottest new stars, and the Main Stage.
Previously, the Next From Nashville stage has welcomed performances from artists such as Chris Stapleton, HARDY, Sam Hunt, Cole Swindell, Kelsea Ballerini, and others, solidifying its reputation as a pivotal platform for the initiation of country music careers.
The nonstop fun kicked off on Friday with sets from rising stars Mackenzie Carpenter, Aaron Raitiere, Chase McDaniel, and Pillbox Patti on the Next From Nashville Stage, while Dee Jay Silver got things started on the Main Stage.
Nate Smith, Jo Dee Messina, and Cole Swindell got the crowd warmed up for Friday’s headliner, Thomas Rhett, who thrilled fans with a set that included his hits and plenty of pyrotechnics.
Both stages were rocking once again on Saturday with Aidan Canfield, Peytan Porter, John Morgan, Mackenzie Porter, Jake Worthington, and Madeline Edwards holding it down on the Next From Nashville stage, and Corey Keny, Hailey Whitters, Dylan Scott, Mitchell Tenpenny, Dustin Lynch, and Jason Aldean commanding the Main Stage with electrifying performances.
The showcase of up-and-coming artists continued on Sunday with the Next From Nashville Stage hosting performances by Dylan Marlowe, Lauren Watkins, George Birge, Ben Burgess, and Megan Moroney.
That evening, the TidalWave Music Festival Main Stage came to a close with Cooper Alan, Priscilla Block, Lindsay Ell, Randy House, Jelly Roll, and headliner Brooks & Dunn.
Over the course of three days, the festival allowed music lovers to experience some of country music’s hottest stars and most talented newcomers in a breezy, beachside setting. Re-live the excitement of TidalWave Music Festival below.
