CHARLOTTE, N.C. — New acts have been added to the lineup for the 2025 Lovin’ Life Music Fest in Uptown Charlotte.
Just last week, the festival dropped the majority of the lineup for its second ever festival, but two spots on the lineup poster were notably blurred out.
Now, we know who those acts are: Pitbull & Third Eye Blind.
Over 50 acts are set to perform across multiple stages for the festival. The three headliners were announced back in November: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees Dave Matthews Band, Grammy-winning artist Gwen Stefani, and Benson Boone, who was nominated for best new artist for the 2025 Grammy Awards.

It appears Third Eye Blind will be performing at sunset on Friday. There is still one blurred spot on the lineup — it’s not clear when that act will be named.
“Coming off last year’s sellout, we are absolutely amazed by the incredible support from the Charlotte community,” Bob Durkin of Southern Entertainment said. “The enthusiasm from fans during the presale has surpassed our expectations, cementing this fest as a cornerstone of the Queen City’s vibrant culture.”
Durkin added the festival has aimed to create a lineup for the festival’s second year that “reflects Charlotte’s energy and diversity.”
The inaugural festival in 2024 brought huge crowds to First Ward Park to see artists like Post Malone, Stevie Nicks, The Fray and DaBaby. The first festival received widespread praise, with fans crediting organizers for pulling off a huge event without any major problems — the only notable issue was heavy rain and storms Saturday, but the show went on.
Tickets are now on sale for the festival, and the festival said ticket prices will be going up on Friday.
The festival will be held May 2-4.
