Festival attendees will be able to roam throughout the lush grass and sandy areas of Doheny State Beach, right off the shore of the Pacific Ocean.

Chase Rice says, “There’s nothing like a fall night out at a music festival. Last time we played the Driftwood festival out in Dana Point, the fans were incredible, and there to take it all in –not just the hits, they knew the album cuts. When we make music it’s with moments like that in mind.  We can’t wait to see y’all again.”

Big & Rich adds, “Beaches, good weather and country music… California here we come. Get ready for a Big & Rich time.”
