The Jam for Cam music festival is back for its sixth year raising money for melanoma research and prevention. Jam for Cam is a nonprofit that was founded in 2018 by University of Georgia students after the loss of their friend, Cameron Fearon, to metastatic melanoma at age 21. Since then, it has raised over a million dollars. The nonprofit’s music festival is growing in attendance and contribution to charity every year, with 2023’s festival drawing 4,000 people and raising $286,000. This year’s headliners are Milky Chance, a German rock band known for its Billboard-charting hit “Stolen Dance,” and Penelope Road, a burgeoning band out of Atlanta that is influenced by ‘70s rock and funk. The lineup also includes Congress the Band, The Gringos and many more. VIP tickets are available for $250, which include a private beer garden ticket with front stage access and a seating area with a private bar and bathrooms.
