In true Cincinnati style, tailgating for Jimmy Buffett at Riverbend is back on

It's almost time to bring back a long-honored tradition: tailgating for Jimmy Buffett and The Coral Reefer Band. 

The legendary artist and "Margaritaville" singer will return to Riverbend Music Center on Tuesday, marking the first big show since the venue lifted its COVID-19 restrictions.

And of course, there will be tailgating beforehand.

What to know if you go

Riverbend's tailgating lots, 269-327 Sutton Road, will open at 8 a.m. Doors for the concert will open at 6 p.m.

Jimmy Buffett and The Coral Reefer Band will begin at 8 p.m.

All drinks will be poured into cups on-site, per the artist's request, and there will be free Icon water refill stations, cups and carrier misting stations on-site due to expected high temperatures. Inside the venue, any bag or purse larger than 12-inch-by-12-inch will not be permitted.

Riverbend is expecting large crowds to see Buffett, and people are recommended to arrive at the venue "as early as possible" to help limit congested traffic in parking areas. 

The rideshare and Uber/Lyft pickup location is located across the street from Gate 2, Coney Island’s main entrance. 

Reserved seating and general admission tickets are still available on Ticketmaster ahead of Tuesday's show.
