TidalWave Music Festival Washes over Atlantic City with Country Music
Going Places with Dina Guzzardo
A
tlantic City has really hit it out of the park with music festivals at the Shore this summer, providing a variety of genres suitable for all listeners. This weekend, AC is going country with the TidalWave Music Festival happening all weekend (August 12th14th) at Atlantic City Beach. None other than Luke Bryan will be headlining the Main Stage on Friday night. Bryan needs no introduction; even non-country music fans know the Country Music Association award winning artist with his songs like “Up”, “Country On”, and “Country Girl (Shake It for Me)”. Opening up for Bryan will be Riley Green and Mitchell Tenpenny. There will also be perfor-
mances by artists such as Lainey Wilson, Breland, with Dee Jay Silver opening the weekend at 2pm on the Main Stage, and Alana Springsteen opening the Next From Nashville Stage (NVN) at 2:15pm. On Saturday, Morgan Wallen, who was a member of both Usher and Adam Levine’s teams on The Voice, will headline the Main Stage at 9:25pm. After his brief stint on The Voice, Wallen was signed to Panacea Records and has since gone on to release twelve number one singles, including recording a song with Florida Georgia Line. Sharing the stage with Wallen will be Hardy, Tracy Lawrence, and more. Filmore will headline the NFN stage at 7pm with Seaforth opening at 5:40pm. Then, on Sunday, Grammy-nominated artist Dierks Bentley will close the festival on the Main Stage at 9:25pm. Opening up for Bentley will be Chase Rice and Lauren Alaina on the Main Stage, and Dillon Carmichael will headline the NFN stage. A full breakdown of the schedule for the
weekend, including all other artists, can be found at: https://tidalwavefest.com/schedule/. Not only will there be great music taking over AC Beach all weekend, but there will also be a wide range of additional activities to keep guests entertained all weekend long. The festival producers are committed to ocean conservation, and they have curated a list of partners to be present in the Conservation Village located inside the festival. These “Conservation Rockstars” will offer interactive activities and opportunities to teach people how they can help save our
oceans. The concept of the Conservation Village was pioneered by Rock the Ocean, whose mission is to, “increase public awareness about the issues impacting the world’s oceans and to support scientific research, education and ocean conservation initiatives through benefit concerts, brand partnerships, and entertainment industry events.” There will be several fundraising efforts over the weekend to support the participating nonprofits, with official Rock The Ocean merchandise on sale. There will also be a live auction in the TidalWave Fest App featuring custom acoustic and electric guitars autographed by TidalWave performing artists, the Best Seats In The House, a private yacht charter, and much more. Several brands, including White Claw, Tanqueray, Screwball Peanut Butter Whiskey, and Patron, will have vendor tents and will be selling their incredibly popular alcoholic beverages.
