Daytona Beach American Music Festival this year will feature Usher, Janet Jackson, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, the Jonas Brothers, Carrie Underwood, Demi Lovatto and Selena Gomez, among others. The festival will be presented by CCF, the Community Cultural Foundation, which also presents the Daytona Beach International Festival and its showcase act, the London Symphony Orchestra.
There will be 2 rounds of concerts, June 25-27, and Sept 3-5. Tickets go on sale Saturday, May 29, and will range from about $39 to $99.
The shows are hoped to be the first step in redefining Daytona Beach as more than a place for burley bikers and party-'til-you-drop Spring Breakers. The plan is to hold all of this summer's concerts in the Main Street area of Daytona. That section of town was chosen because $125,000 of that neighborhood's city redevelopment fund, fueled by property tax dollars, is going toward promotion of the shows and the core tourist beachside area. The June concerts will be held at and around the oceanside Bandshell, and the Labor Day shows on a Main Street stage at the Peabody Auditorium and in the Ocean Center.
Several large businesses in town -- including Bright House Networks, Halifax Health Medical and The News-Journal -- are paying for corporate sponsorships, explained Manuel Bornia, president of CCF. City commissioners asked Bornia to lead a volunteer, grass-roots marketing blitz to redefine three areas in the city that need revitalization: the Midtown neighborhood, downtown around Beach Street and the Main Street area. These concerts are one part of Bornia's efforts.
