CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — Researchers and history buffs will soon have to plan around a temporary closure at the Charleston County Public Library’s Main Library as renovations approach.

Why South Carolina is having a Darius Rucker concert instead of spring football game

Why South Carolina is having a Darius Rucker concert instead of spring football game

COLUMBIA — South Carolina is hosting a Darius Rucker concert and block party in lieu of the 2026 spring football game.

The university announced on Feb. 25 that “Gamecock Athletics, in partnership with Rock Block, has announced that country music superstar and longtime Gamecock supporter Darius Rucker, along with country singer, songwriter and actress, Lauren Alaina, will headline the Garnet & Black Spring Fest.”

Williams-Brice Stadium has been under construction since the end of the 2025 football season and will not be operational in April, when coach Shane Beamer typically hosts the Garnet and Black spring game.

The event will take place on Saturday, April 11, at Colonial Life Arena with a free pre-conference block party at the corner of Lincoln and Greene Streets, outside of CLA.

Rucker is a Charleston native and a South Carolina graduate. His band Hootie and the Blowfish was formed at the university.

Tickets will first go to Gamecock Club members, Letterman Association members, University of South Carolina students and Colonial Life Arena Cyber Club members. It’s open to all ages.

The block party will begin at 1 p.m. ET and will feature a meet and greet with Gamecock football players, food and drinks, inflatables, live music and more. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. with doors opening at 6 p.m.

“Due to the ongoing stadium construction, our ability to host a spring game this year was going to be challenging as our top priority is ensuring Williams-Brice Stadium is ready for Sept. 5 home opener,” athletics director Jeremiah Donati said in the release. “As a result, the Garnet & Black Spring Fest was created to not only provide fans with the opportunity to meet and greet our football student-athletes but to come together as Gamecocks.”

Rucker is often involved in things on campus, ranging from attending games to supporting Beamer and women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley, or things more formal like events like these.

At a concert in Columbia in December 2024, Beamer joined Rucker on stage to sing “Wagon Wheel.”

Alaina is from Rossville, Georgia.

South Carolina has not announced dates for spring football practice.
