I went by it today! It got me really excited. Hopefully it will bring in acts like Panic and DMB. That would be freaking awesome!

Phish and dead and company would be just a pipe dream.

It is very nice, but are you familiar with Brandon? Get ready for the Gaithers. Or maybe the Oak Ridge Boys if you’re really lucky.

It should be great. My only worry is how Brandon will handle alcohol.

I'm assuming those are country acts? It's run by red light management I think. So they maybe able to pull acts like DMB and Panic. Hell Tuscaloosa got DMB and Phish to come and will be run by the same company. They even said that they want those type of acts so take that for what it's worth

Yeah, Brandon doesn't have a liquor licence right?

yeah that's the one thing, no bars at all and no restaurants worth a darn in Brandon proper. Flowood has a lot more going on.

This is the same town that voted liquor out for the past 20 years. There’s more of a chance of Ozzy playing there than WSP. Will be lots of Amy Grant/Vince Gill types with a Freeze-led revival meeting peppered in between them.

When I was at the Dwight Yoakam concert at the Brandon Municipal Complex earlier this year, there was beer for sale.

I’m a Brandon resident.

This town is about to explode. The developments (that includes restaurants and hotels) that are planned are overwhelming.
Red Mountain Entertainment will be handling the booking. It’s going to be pretty awesome.

Please expand on this. I may potentially relocate to Brandon. What is driving the explosion? Migration from Jackson or something internal?

Yep, the Rolling Stones are already signed to perform there. Word is the Beatles are getting back together for their performance.

So it's looking good.

You could call it migration. I call it something different.

White Flight then. So is that the reason? Seems that has chilled a bit in recent years.

I guess I was hoping for some type of internal economic engine.

I have no idea where said explosion is going to happen. No one goes to Brandon to do anything unless it’s buying a car. And the only usable empty land left is on Marquette where amphitheater is located. Unless that is where all the building will occur I have no idea. Lakeland Drive is where it’s at in Rankin County.

It's way the hell out in the boondocks, but there's a lot of land off of Hwy 18 bypass in Brandon.

I don’t really have all that much knowledge of Brandon, so perhaps more is happening than I know of. But it’s hard to imagine Brandon exploding. I can’t think of anytime I needed to go to Brandon for anything.

My guess if anywhere in the Jackson area is exploding it’s eitbwr gluckstadt or Clinton (only because of the tire plant).
