"The Asbury Jukes and I are so excited that we can play this first of its kind live concert and help get New Jersey started on a quick and healthy return to normal.

Lyon continued by sharing:

"Why sit at home when 'We're Havin' A Party,' drive-in style? We'll safely see everyone July 11th."

The concert space accommodates up to 1,000 cars with four passengers per vehicle. To correspond with social distancing rules, each vehicle will be spaced out 9 feet apart from one another and parked in a stagger formation to eliminate any risk of contact. Additionally, patrons are only allowed to the leave their vehicle to use the restroom and are required to wear a facemask while doing so.
