Marc Rebillet, also known as Loop Daddy, has announced he will set out on the US’ first-ever drive-in concert tour.

The phenomenon on drive-in raves took off in Germany recently, and now Ribellet will be taking the new pandemic-proof format Stateside. The shows will be hosted at drive-in cinemas and aim to replicate a similar experience, with short films broadcast instead of traditional opening acts.
