As the city plans the 2024 programming and events schedule, they said they've invited Audacy to be a part of the process for reconsideration in 2024 and beyond. Audacy is a free broadcast and Internet radio platform.

Virginia Beach City Council had passed an ordinance bringing a new, two-day music festival to the Oceanfront this fall back in August 2023.
