VB native Pharrell Williams has released the lineup for his upcoming concert event “Something in the Water”.
The event will take place at the Virginia Beach waterfront on April 26, 27 & 28.
The 2019 season is being dubbed “a transition year,” by Beach officials. It will still be part of the traditional College Beach Weekend, but will act as the hub for social activity. College Beach Weekend has been marred by violence in the past. William’s event is meant to create a more fun, positive vibe for College Beach Weekend.

Williams and his multimedia branding company I Am Other are funding the festival. He is also a partner for the Virginia Beach surf park and 3,500-seat entertainment center venture.
Here’s a list of performers:
