Charlotte’s newest music festival is coming back in hot with a vague name, questionable headliners, and logistics courtesy of the same minds behind South End parking. The Axios Charlotten has you covered.
1. What’s happening:
Charlotte is hosting the “Lovin Life Festival,” a three-day music event no one asked for.
2. The lineup:
- 90% of the artists are completely unrecognizable.
- Headliners include The Wiggles, a hologram of David Tepper, and a guy with a guitar we found outside a NoDa brewery.
- One guy who opened for a guy who once opened for Mumford and Sons.
3. Getting there:
- CMPD will place traffic cones “strategically” across Uptown.
- No one knows what they’re for.
- You will be yelled at regardless of what lane you choose.
4. The vibe:
- Overpriced beer.
- Sunburn.
- At least one person loudly explaining that they actually liked the opener better.
5. The name:
- It’s called “Lovin Life.”
- It’s not clear if this is satire.
- Feels like something your divorced uncle gets tattooed on his forearm.
- We hate it.
6. The bottom line:
Tickets start at $300. Hope you like traffic and being slightly too old for this.
