CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A new tour has been added to the mix for the Carowinds Summer Music Fest series.
The Bret Michaels Parti-Gras Tour 2024 is set for Saturday, July 6, at the Paladium -- the on-site and seldom-used amphitheater, which was transformed into a venue in 1991.
Bret Michaels leads the lineup at the amusement park, along with guests Great White, Slaughter, Dee Snider of Twisted Sister, and Journey's former lead singer Steve Augeri.
More than 30 performances will take place on multiple stages in the park over five weekends in July and August. Flo Rida, LeAnn Rimes and Skillet are headlining the series.
Headliners will perform at the Paladium. Charlotte-area bands and emerging artists will perform on stages throughout the park as well.
Since 1975, the Paladium has welcomed big names like Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, Charlie Daniels, James Taylor, Mary J. Blige and the Temptations.
The music series is free with park admission throughout the summer.
