Promotors 'very optimistic' music fans won't have to wait until 2025.
It’s now official after the city council Thursday night unanimously approved a three-year contract with promoter C3 Presents. The festival will take place on a Saturday and Sunday, starting on the last Saturday in September or the weekend before the Austin City Limits Music Festival, which is typically in early October.The festival will take place in John Hunt Park and about 30-35,000 people are expected to attend over two days, according to Ted Heinig of C3.
“This will have significant appeal and should attract music fans from other states and possibly other countries,” Mayor Tommy Battle said in a statement. “The investments we’ve made over the years to John Hunt Park are already attracting large-scale sports events, and it’s also what appealed to C3 Presents. It’s the perfect venue for an event of this magnitude.”
The council spoke with enthusiasm about the festival with Jennie Robinson saying the event has been the first thing mentioned in recent conversations with constituents and Bill Kling dropping not-so-subtle hints about his preference for The Rolling Stones to rock the Rocket City. Devyn Keith lobbied for diversity in the acts, which Davis said is written into the contract and was a priority for the city in planning the festival.
