Tickets for Pharrell Williams’ Something in the Water music festival are about to go on sale — for Virginia residents.
The special “locals only” sale will begin at 10 a.m. and last through 5 p.m. Friday in person at the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater box office at 3550 Cellar Door Way in Virginia Beach. The festival lineup also is expected to be revealed Friday.
The festival, launched in 2019 by the Virginia Beach native Williams, will feature concerts Oct. 12 and 13 on the beach at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. And on Friday morning, music fans with a Virginia ZIP code will able to purchase either a general admission two-day festival pass for $180 or a VIP two-day festival pass for $450. IDs will be checked.
Something in the Water was last held in April 2023 and featured headlining rappers such as Lil Wayne, A$AP Rocky and Busta Rhymes along with the popular folk group Mumford & Sons.
This year, the festival was moved to the fall to coincide with the release of an animated Lego-themed movie about Williams’ life, “Piece by Piece.”
