Darius Rucker’s Riverfront Revival Returns for Fifth Year with Star-Studded Lineup
Darius Rucker is bringing back the Riverfront Revival Music Festival for its fifth edition on October 9–10 at Riverfront Park in North Charleston, South Carolina.
The Charleston native and three-time GRAMMY Award winner founded the two-day festival to showcase both established performers and emerging talent along the scenic waterfront.
This year’s lineup stays rooted in country while branching out to include hip-hop and other genres, highlighting the festival’s evolving musical scope. Artists set to perform include Gavin Adcock, Old Dominion, BigXthaPlug, Nelly, Charles Wesley Godwin, Chase Matthew, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, Austin Williams, Atlus, Dani Rucker, Gullah Collective, Karley Scott Collins, Saluda Shoals, Mel Washington, Whiskey Run, and AC Scar.
“Riverfront Revival has always been about bringing great music and great people together in a place that means everything to me,” Rucker said. “Getting to build this in Charleston year after year has been incredible, and this lineup shows how much it’s grown while still staying true to what the festival is all about.”
Presale tickets are already available, with general sales beginning Wednesday, April 8, at 10 a.m. local time through RiverfrontRevival.com. Two-day passes are offered in General Admission, GA Plus, and VIP tiers, with single-day tickets also on sale.
A portion of ticket proceeds will support the Carolyn G. Rucker Nursing Scholarship at the Medical University of South Carolina and Rock ‘N Roll Rescue, a program dedicated to local music education.
In addition to the festival, Rucker will hit the road for his Songs of Summer Tour 2026, starting June 4 in Toledo, Ohio. The U.S. tour will include stops in Atlantic City, Cincinnati, and Boston, and feature a rotating lineup of special guests including George Birge, Lauren Alaina, Robert Randolph, Old Crow Medicine Show, Evan Honer, and Austin Williams.
