Get ready to rock Riverfront like a “Wagon Wheel.” Darius Rucker’s Riverfront Revival returns Friday, Oct. 11 + Saturday, Oct. 12. Riverfront Revival is a two-day music festival held at Riverfront Park in North Charleston. It is described on the event’s website as a love letter to country music and the Lowcountry.
Event details
Gates open: Friday at 4 p.m. + Saturday at 12 p.m.

Lineup
Each year, the festival showcases a mix of local musicians along with established and up-and-coming artists from country and rock genres. This year’s lineup features Sister Hazel, Arrested Development, Jamey Johnson, and Collective Soul, to name a few. There’s no question the main event is two-time GRAMMY Award-winning band (and SC-made) Hootie & the Blowfish.
