It’s official. Keyla Richardson has made it to the Top 3 of “American Idol,” and she will be filming a hometown concert in Pensacola on May 6 as part of the show’s finale.
Joining Richardson in the Top 3 are contestants Hannah Harper and Jordan McCullough. Each of the three contestants will get a filmed hometown visit, which will air during the season finale.
The free concert will be held at the amphitheater behind Blue Wahoos stadium at 6:30 p.m. It will be the culmination of a full day of events celebrating Richardson’s success, with activities leading up to the show, including a parade and second line procession.
There’s been an incredible amount of excitement for Richardson’s breakout success on American Idol, and the 5,000 available amphitheater tickets were distributed in less than an hour, according to the Blue Wahoos. Overflow tickets to watch the performance on the videoboard at Blue Wahoos Stadium are still available.
Here’s everything to know if you want to go.
