Toby Keith, Brantley Gilbert, Trace Adkins & More to Perform at Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam
Event organizers along with Pepsi recently announced that Toby Keith, Brantley Gilbert, Trace Adkins, Eli Young Band, Kip Moore, Charlie Daniels Band, Pepsi’s X Factor Winner Tate Stevens, Darryl Worley, Blackberry Smoke, and Pepsi’s Southern Original Winner are the first to join Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam’s lineup. Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam is a debut country music festival coming to Panama City Beach, FL September 26-28, 2013.
Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam will have six stages, providing “country on the coast” for an audience upwards of 15,000 people. During the day, three beachfront stages will be hosted by Edgewater Golf & Beach Resort, The Boardwalk Beach Resort, and Seahaven Beach Resorts. Festival-goers will be able to watch their favorite performers as they stand on the white “sugar sand” beach and dip their toes in the water. As the sun begins to set, patrons will ride free shuttles to the headline stage at Frank Brown Park. Once Toby Keith, Brantley Gilbert, and Trace Adkins close out their respective nights, the fun will continue at the late night venue Club La Vela, the largest nightclub in the USA. An additional surprise late night venue will be announced soon.
Anticipating the festival, Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam Executive Producer, Rendy Lovelady says, “First of all, I want to thank the Panama City Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau for helping us to start Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam and for their sponsorship of the event. Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam’s entrance into the festival market is going to be huge. Not only does the event have a massive lineup, it is a destination location. Festival-goers will come for the music, but I know they will be just as excited to experience Panama City Beach and everything that comes along with it. It will be the ultimate country music fan celebration and getaway all wrapped into one.”
When asked about the festival, Dan Rowe, President of the Panama City Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau said, “We are thrilled to be a part of Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam and know it will be great for Panama City Beach.”
Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam is hosting a competition in order to find a Pepsi Southern Original Artist. The competitions will take place in various cities throughout the Southern United States. One finalist will be chosen per city. These finalists will compete Wednesday, September 25, 2013, at Club La Vela in Panama City Beach, FL for the title of Pepsi’s Southern Original Artist. The winner will not only win an independent deal, allowing them access to national booking, management and a national singles deal, but will also have the grand privilege to open for Toby Keith on Saturday night.
