More than 40 artists across different genres will perform on three stages in Uptown's First Ward for the festival's debut next year. 

Just one day after WCNC Charlotte spoke to Southern Entertainment partner Bob Durkin about the logistics of the Lovin' Life Music Fest, a map of the event's layout was posted on the event's Instagram account. The layout of the map shows the main stage of the event located on the block sandwiched between E. 8th Street, E. 9th Street, North Caldwell Street and North Brevard Street. Main stage VIP and super VIP ticket areas are also within this block. 

The general admission areas run three blocks southwest between North Brevard Street and North Caldwell Street, ending at E. 5th Street. First Ward Park will house the Art and Culinary Village. It is not yet known where the other stages will be located.
