Rothbury Festival

This summer Michigan is going to be the home of the Rothbury Festival taking place July 3 - 6, 2008. There will be more than 60 acts that are in the rock, bluegrass, world music and jazz genres, including 311, Primus, Thievery Corporation and Snoop Dogg.

Dave Matthews Band will headline the event being put on by Madison House, a promoter out of Boulder, Colorado. It takes place at the Double JJ Resort.

They believe the music festival will draw out 30,000 to 40,000 people. Jeremy Stein, an owner and partner in Madison House said "This is not a hard rock show or a metal festival," "There will be music for everyone. We will have a wide enough lineup that it will allow a diverse group of folks to find something they like."

The basic ticket for Rothbury Festival will be $244.75, which includes parking, camping and all of the entertainment and environmental programming for the entire weekend for one person. Children younger than 12 get in for half price. Other accommodations are available in the area.

Tickets are on sale now.
