Ready to rock out all weekend long, the post announcement garnered more than 32,800 reactions, 3,400 comments, and 5,800 shares from Facebook users ready to travel to the Emerald Coast to experience the live performance by the Michigan native performing artist.
“OMG,” wrote Pamela Speakman Dittoe. “Gotta (sic) figure something out. I wanna rock with the Kid.”
Tagging her social media friend “Bonnie,” Connie Senters wrote, “Pack your suitcase, we are going to this concert.”
A Steven Brown will likely make the most of the special experience. After making a separate post noting at 58 years old he’s attended about 60 concerts, with three of them being that of Rock’s, he wrote: “I am going to go. YOLO (you only live once). Harley Davidson, ride or die.”
Known as “the most biker-friendly free rally in the United States,” according to visitpanamacitybeach.com. The bi-annual rally welcomes about 60,000 bikers to the Gulf Coast. The event includes: more than 200 vendors and exhibitors, a bike parade, beauty pageants, poker runs, live music, motorcycle stunt shows, tattoo contests, bike shows with category judging, and more.
The spring event generally boasts its concert series, while the fall event appears to be more involved.
Alongside the 3-day general admission ticket, general admission and VIP single-day tickets for Thursday and Friday were still available as of Feb. 15. They range from $60 to $205.
The three-day pass includes entry at the gated concert area on April 28-30 to see all concerts and bands. Free motorcycle-only parking is available first-come, first-serve until 11 p.m. each night; no overnight parking.
Organizers note that all ticket holders will pass through metal detection prior to entering the park. No bags, carry-in food or beverages, and chairs may be brought onto the premises. The event will be held rain or shine.
