NBC10’s Ted Greenberg explains what the free Blake Shelton and Lady Antebellum concert can do for Atlantic City’s image
More than 60,000 fans are rocking to a free Blake Shelton concert on the Atlantic City beach.
The country music star and judge on the TV's "The Voice'' was performing on a stage near The Pier at Caesars Thursday.
Those who don't have tickets can still hear the concert on the boardwalk or out on a boat.
The concert is presented by The Atlantic City Alliance and its "Do AC'' promotional campaign, and is being produced by Live Nation.
The concert is the latest in a series of free, large-scale events to attract visitors to Atlantic City.
Jimmy Buffet drew 50,000 fans to a free concert on the beach last year. Lady Antebellum will headline a free beach show on Sunday.
