The Canadian James Barker Band wasn’t used to the heat of Memorial Day weekend in Florida. The remedy the band shared with the audience gathered at the opening of the Country 500 music festival at Daytona International Speedway on Friday: drinking a lot of beer. While water would be a better way for fans at the three-day festival to stay hydrated, plenty of people gathered under a partly cloudy sky were taking the band’s advice.
As the evening went on, the crowd would eventually swell into the thousands. The James Barker Band opened the event’s main stage Friday before an evening of performances headlined by Dierks Bentley. On Saturday, country stars Billy Currington and Chris Stapleton will perform before Sugarland and Toby Keith close out the festival on Sunday.
