Hullโs Drive-In launches campaign to buy its land, averting possible eviction
Hullโs Drive-In Theatre on Route 11 celebrates 72 years this season, but it has never owned the dirt that itโs built on. There are just 305 active drive-in theatres remaining in the United States, two that are non-profits. Hullโs Drive-In is one of them and they have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to make sure they stay. After owning the property that Hullโs sits on for about a century, the family has finally agreed to sell to Hullโs after years of them asking to buy it. โThis piece of the puzzle will help secure Hullโs Drive-In for Central Virginia for many decades to come,โ Summers said.

Amid pandemic, Live Nation announces drive-in concert series
(AP Photo)NEW YORK Tour promoter Live Nation has announced its first-ever drive-in concerts series in the U.S. for July, months after the live music industry has been on lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. All venue staff are required to wear masks, and Live Nation requests that attendees wear masks upon arrival, where there will be contact-less ticket scanning through their windows. Masks are not required once fans are in their designated tailgate areas, and Live Nation is not requiring that fans wear gloves. Tom See, president of Live Nation Venues-US Concerts, said the company spent months working to find a safe, enjoyable way to put on live shows during the pandemic. A menu of hot food items and nonalcoholic will be available for purchase, Live Nation said.
