EVENT DESCRIPTION
The sounds of rock, jazz, country, R&B, and more flood the Virginia Beach oceanfront for three sun-filled days over Labor Day Weekend at the American Music Festival. One of the largest outdoor music events on the East Coast, the American Music Festival brings together national, regional, and local acts to play on a gigantic stage erected on the beach at 5th Street, as well as stages in all the parks along the boardwalk. Just about every music genre is included, proving that there truly is “something for everyone.”
At the American Music Festival, the giant 5th Street main stage on the beach – featuring national recording artists – is the anchor.
Additional boardwalk “side stages” are located at 13th, 22nd, and 27th Streets, and feature local artists.

WHAT’S NEW
Vertical Horizon closes the curtain on Chartway American Music Festival with a free show at 24th Street Park on the Virginia Beach Oceanfront! #visitvabeach
Vertical Horizon was outstanding! Thanks, Virginia Beach, for a great show. And free!! Amazing.
This was a great show and Vertical Horizon played like it was a sold out show! Unfortunately, there was absolutely zero publicity so most of the locals didn’t even know they were playing.
Great show today!!
Jason Swain
Doesn’t look like anybody’s there. Imagine that.🤔
Turncoat Syndicate opens the last day of Chartway American Music Festival with a free show at 24th Street Park at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. Vertical Horizon coming up next! #visitvabeach
I love seeing shows at the Lark!!!
THIS AFTERNOON we rock with Vertical Horizon at 24th Street Park. FREE Show starts at 3pm. Turncoat Syndicate opens.
What time does Vertical Horizon start? And what time do they play til?
Kene King I secretly love them.
Rocking with +LIVE+ now at 5th Street!
Disappointed that there were two concerts going on at one time. We missed Live because my crew wanted to watch Parmalee. It should have been scheduled where we could have seen both!
Great show!!
LIVE sounded great!!!
Man Live killed it!! Dashboard we’re good too!!
The Chong Band is on the 5th Street Stage now! Next up: Dashboard Confessional!
This band was so good, definitely on their way to big things!!!
See you tomorrow, when we’ll rock with 311, Moon Taxi & more!
The directions are so confusing on the website. We have preferred tix for tonight, so where do we enter?
Why can't I find specific tines for specific bands? I want to see blind boys of Alabama & moon taxi, but don't know what time they ate playing. I see a "show start" time, but not what time these bands play!
311 Rox , they’re a good show enjoy
What stage is Vertical Horizon playing on Monday? The article in the Pilot says 31st street stage, but the Bandsintown app says 24th street. Just wanted to make sure I have the correct info.
Where is will call? First time going and just bought preferred tickets ? Also parking at meters still ?
I'm guessing 311 gonna start round 9 . Lee Brice started at 9 last night n he was the main event? Every thing will call , entrance, etc r all at or around 5th street
Where can I get single day tickets for tn
Are the fireworks near 5th street will they go off again tonight?
What time does 311 start?
When is the exact start for 311? Does anyone know?
🌞Going to be a beautiful night! 🌞 Tickets are still available at the 6th Street Box Office, starting at 4pm.
Another year of confusion. These events have so many issues year after year and usually only one or two bands worth hearing. You advertise daily tickets at $25 yet THERE IS NOWHERE to get such a ticket. And tonight people are standing at the gates giving away tickets. Sad, get it together.
This used to be a great festival. We went every year for about 20 years and then in about 2013 the line-up quality of the bands went way down. This festival USED to have great bands such as Journey, Billy Idol, Steve Miller Band, Jamey Johnson, INXS, Stone Temple Pilots, B-52's and more. What happened? It is still a MUSIC festival isn't it? How many times have they scheduled the same bands like Train and 311? We used to come and stay all week from a different state for about 20 years just for this MUSIC festival but have not come in about 3 years because the line-up now STINKS! It is no longer worth spending a couple of thousand a year to attend this. Wish whoever used to be in charge of the line-up would take the job back over.
Yall might delete this comment but I'm gonna make my voice heard anyway. I stood by the 5th street entrance for 2 hours before gates opened then at 5 they tell me I have to go get a wrist band then once I've recieved the wrist band hand to go around to 7th street entrance and they weren't letting in yet, they finally did then I'm back at 5th and they are looking at my wristband like they dont know what it means, COMMUNICATION and ORGANIZATION aren't that hard
If Lee Brice is headlining, about what time will he take the stage???
What time is Lee Brice preforming
Leslie Nicol we are staying a couple hotels down from here.
Megan Kiliti 😢
Who's coming out tonight to see Lee Brice at the Chartway Federal Credit Union American Music Festival? #visitvabeach
Lee Brice killed it!!! Other than the ghetto fans from DC, was a great night!!!
Looking for one extra.

Patriot 24/7TAXI will be at the oceanfront just Google TAXI near me and you’ll find my phone number by go out I’m not allowed to advertise on this page
