In 2011, the festival added another stage and began booking larger headlining acts.[6] Attendance in 2011 had to be capped at 35,000 per day, an unprecedented number for the second year of a music festival in the region, due to safety concerns.[7][8][9][10] The 2011 event was estimated to have generated approximately $30 million for the Gulf Shores area economy.[10]
