We'll see you at MGK's Big Gig on Friday, June 7th at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, New Jersey. We want to get you to the show safely with our MGK Big Gig Safe Driving Transportation Guide.

This year John Fogerty and George Thorogood join forces at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion. The Big Gig 2024 is a stop on the Celebration Tour with Hearty Har to round out this year's bill. Two great American music institutions are joining forces for a great night of classic music.

It's the perfect way to wrap up the summer concert season; with a full day of music, thousands of our closest friends, your favorite DJs, and the whole MGK family. We want the day to be as perfect as it can be. Part of that, of course, is getting to the venue smoothly. We don't want you to think, "Getting there will be 'Bad To The Bone.'" We want you all to feel like a "Fortunate Son!"

So put on your "Gear Jammer," and "Run Through The Jungle." Use our advice to get to Freedom Mortgage Pavilion on June 7th. Be safe, have fun, and have "One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer" (AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT DRIVING!).

We broke down all the ways you can get to the show with the MGK Big Gig Safe Driving Transportation Guide below.
