Charlotte’s most exciting music event is back! After a sold-out debut, Lovin’ Life Music Fest returns to Uptown Charlotte from Mary 2-4, 2025, promising an electrifying weekend filled with world-class performances, immersive art, and community driven experiences.

The festival, produced by Southern Entertainment, has unveiled its latest wave of performers, adding even more excitement to a already stacked roster. Joining headliners Dave Matthews Band, Gwen Stefani, and Benson Boone are rock legends Weezer, hip-hop powerhouse Ludadcris, and soul sensation Teddy Swims. Fans can also look forward to performances by Third Eye Blind, Pitbull, The Revivalists, Flipturn, mike., BigXThaPlug, Lola Young, Gigi Perez, Petey Pablo, Switchfoot, Sammy Rae & The Friends, and The 502s.

Rising artists such as Evan Honer, Dogpark, Darren Kiely, Artikal, Sound System, Dexter and the Moonrocks, Vincent Lima, The Runarounds, Anella, and Penelope Road will also take the stage, ensuring a diverse mix of sounds for festivalgoers to enjoy.

Staying true to its mission of uplifting local talent, Lovin’ Life Music Fest will feature a lineup of Carolina-based artists and emerging acts, including Stranger Company, Chandler Carpenter & The Reckless Souls, Leone & Ascension, Modern Moxie, Adolescent Dreams, Austin McNeill, Harvey Street, SOPHIA, Weekend Friend, Fudge, Meredith Parks, The Garrett Huffman Band, Camisole, and Charlotte’s very own Bailey Marie.

Lovin’ Life Music Fest has quickly gained national recognition. Named one of USA Today’s “Top 10 New Festivals in the U.S.,” it continues to make waves in the music industry and beyond. Locally, Charlotte Magazine honored the festival as one of the “2024 Charlotteans of the Year,” applauding its contributions to the city’s arts and culture scene.

“This festival isn’t just about music—it’s about community, creativity, and making a lasting impact,” said Bob Durkin of Southern Entertainment. “We’re thrilled to bring an even bigger lineup while maintaining the special local experiences that made last year’s event such a success.”

Beyond the music, Lovin’ Life Music Fest is an immersive experience, featuring interactive art installations, live murals, and unique vendor experiences. The festival also emphasizes philanthropy, having raised thousands for local charities in 2024. In 2025, it will continue its efforts by partnering with organizations that support the Charlotte community.

“Charlotte is thriving, and Lovin’ Life Music Fest is a perfect reflection of the city’s energy,” said Charlotte City Councilman Tariq Bokhari. “Bringing world-class artists here not only boosts our economy but also provides a vital platform for local musicians to shine.”

Ticket prices will increase starting February 14 at midnight, so fans are encouraged to lock in their spots as soon as possible.
