Jimmie Allen has revealed the lineup for the second annual Bettie James Fest, taking place on Saturday, August 13th at Hudson Fields in Allen’s hometown of Milton, DE. This year’s performers include We The Kings, Lainey Wilson, Neon Union, Chayce Beckham, JJ Rupp and Kounty. Two additional opening acts will be selected through a social media contest later this year, with details to come on Allen’s social media platforms.
Allen will once again serve as headliner for the festival, which he established in 2021 in honor of his late grandmother Bettie Snead and late father James Allen. Said Allen: “Bettie James Fest part two! Bettie James Fest is a music festival that I put on in my hometown of Milton, DE, in honor of my grandma Bettie and father James. It’s a multi-genre day of music, celebrating life and different types of music. It’s super fun, and it’s a way for me to come back and dive back into my hometown and bring music here. It’s the one show that I look forward to most every year. To be able to come back to the place that raised me, after having a little bit of success, just means so much ‘cause these are the people that made me who I am. This is the town that made me who I am. And it’s great because we also get to have Delaware artists come down and be part of the festival as well. Bettie James Fest… Part 2… Going down August 13, 2022 – Hudson Fields in Milton, De… I’ll see y’all there!”
Tickets go on sale Friday, April 29th.
