Something in the Water Returns to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront

Something in the Water, the Pharrell Williams curated music festival that debuted in Virginia Beach in 2019, returns to the resort city April 28 – 30, 2023.

According to a March 3, 2023 Virginian Pilot article, the main stages (there will be two) will be located on the beach at 3rd Street and 10th Street. The article says that one of the main festival entrances will be at 13th Street.

There are many hotels located in the Virginia Beach resort area. We’ve put together a list of the hotels located closed to the Something in the Water festival site.

If you’re not staying at one of the resort area hotels, you’ll want to consider using the festival shuttle. Parking in the Virginia Beach resort area can be limited and traffic is expected to be congested near the festival site, so people are encouraged to park at the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater and take a shuttle to the festival site. Three-day shuttle passes are $50 and are available at the official festival website.

The Something in the Water performer lineup includes Grace Jones, Flo Milli, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Wayne, Machine Gun Kelly, Mumford & Sons, Maren Morris, Nile Rogers & Chic, Skrillex, Wu-Tang Clan, and more. Visit the official festival website for the full lineup!
