The stars will align for country music this Summer in Myrtle Beach. The Carolina Country Music Festival kicks off three days of performances on June 10.
Some of the genre’s biggest names will take the stage around 8th Avenue North in Myrtle Beach. It’s a feel-good comeback for an event that has pumped millions of dollars into the local economy since 2015.
Organizers postponed the concert weekend because of the coronavirus pandemic. Past events have led to an influx of $10-12 million each year to Myrtle Beach. Promoters moved the event to September from June 2020, then again to June 2021.
The concert’s four headline acts remained in the plans for the first postponement. They’re still on for 2021: Eric Church, Luke Combs, Jake Owens, and Darius Rucker. More than 30 artists will join them, including Kelsey Ballerini and Michael Ray.
Extra Perks:
Tickets and parking passes roll over for 2020 ticketholders. Other added perks include:
– Admission to the event 30 minutes earlier than usual
– $20 preloaded on ticketholders’ wristbands

Combs said he was “bummed” about the postponement in a video on the festival’s Facebook page. “I know y’all are too,” he said. “But we’re keeping everybody safe, and we’re making sure to make the vow to come back.”
Organizers have said they plan to keep a spot open for Grammy winner Joe Diffie. Diffie, also a Grand Old Opry performer, died in March from complications of COVID-19. The festival will honor him during his allotted time.
