The White Knuckle Event is Brimstone’s event that is held over Memorial Day weekend. My husband, lots of our friends (about twenty of them), and I actually saw Cam perform over Memorial Day at Brimstone’s White Knuckle Event (along with Kip Moore). I didn’t attend on Friday, but Maren Morris, Cam, Kacey Musgraves, and Eric Church performed. There were even people that came from England to attend this festival! People from all over the United States came out for this event. It would be just like you were seeing a concert at Rupp Arena.

It was like there was a seven-story tall building in the outfield complete with jumbotrons and lighting. The concert/festival took place at Whitaker Ballpark, and the stage for 70 feet tall. For the nights that we attended (Saturday and Sunday), we stood relatively close to the stage. In 2016, it lasted three days with twelve different artists. But this is the first year, where there are three mega-popular headliners: Eric Church, Jason Aldean, and Florida Georgia Line. It used to be devoted to acts exclusively on a hopeful ride or on a graceful descent. Red, White, & Boom is sponsored by WBUL-FM 98.1. It used to happen on the Fourth of July, but this is the first year for it to take place over Labor Day weekend. It first started as a one day event, then it expanded to two days, and now it is three days long. Red, White, & Boom has been a country music festival in Lexington ever since the Fourth of July in 2004. Over Labor Day weekend, my husband, our friends, and I attended Red, White, and Boom 2016.
