While the jobs are geared toward this first event, C4 Live managing partner Greg Costello said the plan is that this event is the first of many in Augusta.
“Three weeks after this event, we’ll have XPR Soul, the soul festival,” he said. “That’s only three weeks later and that will be a lot more locally and regionally driven. We’ll be looking to hire for that, and we want to do something in October.”

C4 is advertising competitive pay — hourly rates ranging from $13 to $35 per hour — and the jobs are expected to go fast.
While hospitality, entertainment and nightlife experience are preferred, individuals seeking opportunities to break into the industry are welcome, C4 said in a press release.
“We’re going to be doing this event here every year, so it’ll be a better experience every year as we get bigger and better,” Costello said. “We’re totally overhauling the stadium. If you’ve been here before, you’ll be very surprised how it looks.”
