Is concert tailgating different from sports tailgating?

While the core experience remains the same—great food, drinks, and entertainment—concert tailgating has its own unique energy and atmosphere. Music fans tend to be more diverse in age and background, creating an electric environment where everyone’s united by their love for live music.Concert tailgates often run longer than sports tailgates since parking lots open 5 hours before show time, giving you more opportunity to build excitement. The crowd tends to be more focused on the social experience and connecting with fellow fans who share musical interests. We tailor our entertainment and atmosphere to match the energy that makes great concerts even better.
