THE 2ND ANNUAL PEPSI GULF COAST JAM
- Performances by Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton and more, August 29-31, 2014 -


Panama City Beach, FL., July 1, 2014 - The Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam, a three-day celebration of sun, fun and country music announces special lodging packages for the 2014 event in Panama City Beach, Fla. Taking place over Labor Day Weekend, the Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam will feature top country music artists including Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley, Big & Rich, Randy Houser, Cassadee Pope and many more.

The Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam will showcase the best of today's country music for an audience of more than 15,000 music lovers on the coast. This year's acts will be divided between the daytime beach stage at M.B. Miller County Pier and the main stage at Frank Brown Park. Festival-goers at the daytime stage can enjoy the sugar-white sand between their toes, or dip their feet in the Gulf of Mexico while catching great performances at the beach stage, then check-out the day's headliners as the sun sets. In addition to the star-studded lineup, 10 Pepsi Original Contestants will perform on the daytime beach stage and the grand prize winner will secure the final spot on the main stage on Aug. 31.

"The Gulf Coast Jam is definitely one of the reasons we're becoming a hot spot for music fans," says President and CEO of Visit Panama City Beach, Dan Rowe. "We welcome all visitors and music-lovers with open arms for three days of sunshine, Southern hospitality and fun on the beach."
