BOILING SPRINGS — The third annual Webbstock concert will host four bands — with a Fleetwood Mac tribute band as the headliner finalé — on two stages from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. April 20 on the Main Street Stage downtown or on the Brinkley Amphitheater Stage, Gardner-Webb University, 110 S. Main St.

GWU and the Town of Boiling Springs will host Webbstock ‘24, and Main Street will be closed to traffic during the event — from College Avenue to Branch Street. 

In addition to live music, activities will include a free kids’ zone on the lawn in front of GWU’s Noel Hall, unique items for sale by local artisans and other vendors — and a range of specialty food options. 

For attendees ages 21 and older, the Broad River Greenway will host a beverage garden in the parking lot that serves downtown beverages. 

On the Main Street Stage, the first group to perform, the Java Band, will play at 1 p.m., followed at 5 p.m. by the band Exit 180. 

On the Brinkley Amphitheater Stage, Cassette Rewind will perform at 3 p.m., followed at 7 p.m. by Landslide, the Fleetwood Mac tribute band billed as the  event’s highlight. 

Java Band is touted as featuring “a versatile style that includes jazz standards, rock, Motown/beach, R&B and country.” Exit 180 says it plays “authentic rock, classic and Southern rock, as well as familiar country songs that inspire people to dance and sing-along.” Cassette Rewind bills itself as being “born in the ‘80s and raised on radio” and offering “the ultimate authentic ‘80s experience with dynamic performances of Prince, George Michael, Journey, Whitney Houston and other ‘80s pop icons.” 

As for Landslide (a Fleetwood Mac tribute band), a promotion stated, “This group takes audiences back in time to an era when the greatest music in rock was being made and the careers of the legends were born. Landslide re-creates the hits from yester-year, taking fans on an electrifying journey through Fleetwood Mac’s incredible catalog of music, incuding the hits from their solo careers.” 

Admission to Webbstock ‘24 is free.
