Tedeschi Trucks at The Drive at Winston-Salem Fairgrounds

You looked GREAT last night Winston-Salem! Thank you for coming out to support live music and the Tedeschi Trucks Band. We had a great night on the midway of the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds & Annex for a SOLD OUT show! Derek and Susan said it was the best audience and show of their tour. We appreciate everyone who purchased a ticket and attended the show. We can't do it with your support!

Remembering the brave men and women of the USAF who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

In 2013, Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi joined BB King on stage at London's Royal Albert Hall for what would be BB's last performance at this world famous venue. This magical evening would end with Slash from Guns N' Roses and Ronnie Wood from The Rolling Stones joining the the group on the stage. We're pleased to welcome Tedeschi Trucks Band to the stage in Winston-Salem on June 22nd. Tickets are on sale now: https://bit.ly/2SmIvi5 #wsnc #tedeschitrucks #tedeschitrucksband #gso #highpoint #kernersville #livemusic #getoutdrivein

Tedeschi Trucks brings their GRAMMY award winning talent to The Drive on June 22. This will be the band's first North Carolina performance in more than 16 months. Led by the powerhouse husband and wife duo, Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi, these artists have grown to be one of the most popular and talented touring acts on the road today. Tickets are on sale now! Visit our website for more information: www.TheDriveMovie.com

Shortcuts

The Triad’s Premier Drive-in!

The Drive is health and safety focused drive-in movie venue set on the midway of the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds. The Drive offers outdoor fun in a safe environment.

Beginning with a touch-free ticketing system, your health and safety are considered in every step of The Drive experience. Large parking places allow for room to enjoy the movie – much more space than your average drive-in. Each space is properly distanced from neighboring spaces by at least six feet. Concessions, including beer and wine, can be ordered by a mobile app and will be delivered directly to vehicles. Set up camp in a large, socially distanced parking space and enjoy the movie without leaving your spot. Everything you need can be delivered!

Huge, 40ft by 25ft movie screens and cinema quality projectors combine for an excellent viewing experience. Crisp, FM audio will be transmitted directly to car radios or FM radio devices. The Drive is a one-of-a-kind experience!

Health and safety focused rules, regulations and protocols are an important part of The Drive’s DNA. We are here to provide an outdoor entertainment experience where everyone can relax and enjoy a movie with family and friends!
