Lovin' Life Music Fest announces dates for 2025 festival

Charlotte's first Uptown music festival drew tens of thousands of fans despite stormy weather on Saturday.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Lovin' Life Music Fest organizers announced plans to bring the massive show back to Charlotte in 2025. 

Lovin' Life Fest posted on X, the website formerly known as Twitter, that it will return to Charlotte from May 2-5, 2025. This year's festival was months in the making with huge crowds packing First Ward Park to see artists like Post Malone, Stevie Nicks, The Fray and DaBaby.

The festival received widespread praise on social media, with fans crediting organizers for pulling off a huge festival without any major problems. The only major issue was with the weather, especially on Saturday, as heavy rain and storms drenched the Carolinas throughout the day. Once the clouds parted, the show went on and fans were treated to the performances they'd been hoping for. 

Fans were mostly pleased with the festival, but a few people believe there's room to improve in year two. 

"I had to bounce back really quick to see certain people I liked a lot," one fan told WCNC Charlotte. 

"They seemed to do a good job with what they had, but I think they need a little bit bigger space," another person said. 

Lovin' Life is asking folks who attended the inaugural festival to give feedback so they can make next year's festival even better. 

"Tell us everything — the good, the bad, your ideas on what we could do better and more," the festival posted. "These go straight to the bosses and they read them all!"
