Verizon Wireless American Music Festival

I came across a listing for the music festival by accident and it sounds like it might be a great time. Does anyone know who any of the acts are that will be playing there ? It says full scheduled released in June on the website.

Is this a place we could visit as a family ? If we wanted to stay down in the area near the festival would this be recommended and if so can you suggest places to stay where we can just park the car and stay put for the weekend ?

Any info on what this event is like would be appreciated.

thanks!

This is the one in August...Labor Day? There are lots of bands on the several stages. Here is an article on it, listing stages:

In %26#39;06 there were KC and the Sunshine Band, Kool and the Gang, Gloria Gaynor, Kansas, Joan Jett, and lots more.

The Rock n Roll Half Marathon is that weekend too.

There are lots of hotels near all the stages. Springhill Suites, Ramada on the Beach, Turtle Cay and tons more in the sort of quieter southern end are near the smaller stage and also the enormous one on the sand. Big wide beach there too.

The Va Beach resort area is very family friendly. Check out the ';Know before you go'; catagory in the left column, then look for ';getting around';, that article will give you the geographic layout so you can tell which hotels are oceanfront or on nearby streets. Also check hotel reviews. If possible, try to stay at the resort strip so you can walk to all activities. There is a 3 mile boardwalk and the music stages are located all along it. If you stay away from the beach and drive in for the music festival there are several city parking lots within walking distance but fill up fast for special events. Alternate parking is often available at the convention center during festivals about 1-2 mi and from there you can take a shuttle to the oceanfront. It%26#39;s great fun, keep an eye on the website explorer gave you for the artists and make your reservations as soon as you can. Enjoy the area.
