About a month after Germany’s World Club Dome held its first drive-in rave, which went viral on social media, American artists are taking a crack at it―and Orlando’s Central Florida Fairgrounds will host the first one.
DJ and Producer Carnage announced Road Rave on his Facebook Thursday, “THE FIRST EVER NORTH AMERICAN FESTIVAL IN CORONA HISTORY!”
Road Rave’s lineup will feature Carnage, Riot Ten, Blunts & Blondes, Nitti Gritti and Gravedgr. The four-hour event will have “a full festival main stage production,” according to its press release.
The show will happen Saturday, June 6 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
In order to maintain social distancing precautions, there is a maximum capacity of 500 vehicles; a limit of six and a minimum of two passengers per vehicle. On-site food trucks will provide concessions and “roaming golf cart vendors” will take orders.
Festival-goers are encouraged to wear face masks and “social distancing will be heavily enforced with strict guidelines and restrictions on when attendees are allowed to safely leave their vehicle,” according to the event’s Facebook.
Carnage will also donate an unknown portion of money from the event to the ANF COVID-19 Relief Fund, which assists vulnerable communities in Nicaragua.
Tickets are still available for purchase here, with the exception of VIP, starting at $50.
