Tyer Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I have not heard if they will be hosting spirit song this summer? The last time they did it was in 2023 and did not last year. Has anyone heard an update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Unfortunately I think 2023 was the final one. I feel it was probably only brought back as a last resort for Timberwolf after the 2022 concert series flop. I guess Koontz fought hard to bring it back as it was pretty popular for local church groups, but I'm guessing he lost that battle to corporate in 2024. It also seems like the Carowinds concert series flopped as they aren't planning another round of concerts at that park either. I'm guessing Timberwolf has hosted its last concert and the plan is to use it for Music in the Parks and then eventually demolish it when they find a better use for the land. Also, the Spirit Song website is gone and if you type in spiritsongfest.com you get this error: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t exactly follow it very closely but I was under the impression that it did well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this article from right before the concert series last year, it mentions that depending on how successful the event was, they were planning on bringing it back in 2025. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/charlottefive/c5-things-to-do/article289514660.html It's also very likely that corporate just doesn't want to host concerts going forward as they are very costly to put on and the fact that parks like Carowinds and KI are surrounded by concert venues. It probably makes better financial sense to focus on new rides, food festivals, and live shows and leave the large concerts to the PNC Pavilion or Riverbend.
