Big Wheel Events announced The Drive In Concert Series on Friday, a six-show concert series that will take place in the Tennessee Smokies Stadium Parking Lot at the 407 exit off interstate 40.
Upon entry, concert-goers will have two listening options. First, an FM transmitter will be broadcasting to a local radio frequency, so attendees can watch the live concert from the comfort of their vehicle and listen to the sound through their own car FM radio. The frequency will be given to attendees upon arrival. The second option allows attendees to bring lawn chairs and sit by their vehicle to hear and see the music coming from the stage.
The capacity is very limited for these shows, so only 300 cars will be allowed at each event.
The first three shows have been announced and the next three will be announced soon.
