Overview:

The overwhelming success of the largest Drive-In concert and movie venue in country, has prompted the promoters to extend another two weeks into mid-June. 

The great diversity of local and regional bands helped to sell out 6 of the 11 concerts and the weekday family nights during the week attracting an average of 300 cars. “The sense of community and getting back to a level of ‘normalcy’ was really incredible each and every night,” said Bill Fogarty of Fogarty Services, the lead production team on the concerts. At Saturday’s Super Jam sold out concert, the crowd was asked if they wanted to continue the concerts and movie nights. “The horns honked non-stop for a minute. I guess that’s the new standing ovation,” said Fogarty. 

General Admission parking passes each night are $40 per car in advance and $50 at the gate with a six person per-car limit.

 

Guests can reserve spots in the front two rows for $60 per car in advance and $70 at the gate.

 

Exclusive VIP Turfed Party Pods for eight people are available (15’ x 20’ area, plenty of room for social distancing) with Valet VIP parking, barbecue and snacks included and with private restrooms for $40 per person ($320 total).

 

All tickets can be purchased in advance at www.driveinstl.com. For more information call 314-528-2020 or  info@powerplexstl.com. 

 

The venue is located at 5555 St. Louis Mills Blvd., Hazelwood, MO 63042.
