From Chris Stapleton to Elton John and Hootie & The Blowfish, Credit One Stadium has long been the place for can’t-miss concerts — and this year is no exception.
The 2026 Lexus Concert Series returns to the famed venue with an electric mix of rock, indie, pop, country, and rap.
As the season heats up, the series continues with headliners like Dierks Bentley, Tim McGraw, Goo Goo Dolls, Zac Brown Band, James Taylor, and more.
What you’ll enjoy
While catching your favorite artists live, grab a drink or a bite from a mix of food trucks, local stands, and stadium classics. (If you’ve snagged a Gamechanger from Home Team BBQ, you’re not alone. We’re big fans too.)
Other tasty options include Orlando’s Pizza, handcrafted kettle corn from Mr. Poppers, Chick-fil-A, and frozen treats from King of Pops.
Plenty of beverage options are available, too, from beer and seltzers to cocktails and lemonade.
How you can level up
Standard tickets get you in the venue, but why stop there?
Take your experience to the next level (literally) by upgrading to Club Level access, which includes complimentary food and drinks before the show.

Plans for a new eight-story hotel that will replace The Ally are set to move forward after a few tweaks. The project was granted preliminary approval, with the idea that there will be a few changes to the windows and detailing on the west side of the building.
Opening
This Friday, a must-stop caffeine spot is back. Harlow and Pearl will open at The Starlight Motor Inn daily from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Plan to park along Rivers Avenue or near Maya Del Sol, just not in the motel parking lot, that’s for overnight guests. Pro tip: Starlight offers pool passes.
Coming Soon
There will soon be a new spot to get your post-beach cone. Ben & Jerry’s teased the opening date for its new Isle of Palms location in Ocean Park Plaza.
Plan Ahead
On Wednesday, April 29, the Charleston Music Hall will host leaders, innovators, and performers during TEDxCharleston. The 14th annual event is themed Symphony, which aims to celebrate the blending of diverse disciplines like ancient traditions and cutting-edge robotics. See this year’s speakers and snag your tickets.
Kids
Let your kids run free at Wild Dunes Resort on Sunday, April 19, during the Wild Child Triathlon. The annual race is geared toward those ages 6 to 12 and features swimming, cycling, and running. Law Enforcement Neighborhood Support, the event host, is also seeking community volunteers.
Cause
Next month, Lowcountry leaders will take to the dance floor to support lung disease research. The SC American Lung Association’s Lowcountry Dancing with the Stars Oxygen Ball is set for Friday, May 1 at 6:30 p.m. Tickets include live dance performances, a seated dinner, and silent and live auctions.

Next Monday marks the start of the Lowcountry Marine Mammal Network’s Dolphin Week. A days-long effort to raise funds for LMMN’s work to protect marine mammals through science, awareness, and conservation.
“Charleston is lucky to have resident dolphins, but without conservation efforts, we all risk the loss of this amazing natural resource,” said Lauren Rust, Executive Director of LMMN.
The 9th annual effort will run from Monday, April 20, through Saturday, April 25, and will include events such as beach yoga, a kayak tour, a documentary screening, a happy hour, and the featured dolphin count.
