The NCAA Final Four in San Antonio features a free March Madness Music Festival with Chris Stapleton, Pit Bull, and Jelly Roll on April 5-7.
SAN ANTONIO — One of the best things about hosting the NCAA Final Four in San Antonio is that the event brings some of the biggest names in the music industry right to our own backyard!
The March Madness Music Festival takes place April 5-7 at the Tower Park at Hemisfair in downtown San Antonio. The venue is in walking distance of the Alamodome where the Final Four games will take place. A Fan Festival will also take place at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center.
This year’s headliners include A-listers Chris Stapleton, Pit Bull, and Jelly Roll.
