From clemsontigers.com:
"Zac Brown Band will headline its first-ever Southern Ground Music and Food Festival -- a three-day event also featuring folk-pop jazz singer Amos Lee and other acts -- at Clemson University April 8-10.

The event will feature live music, a variety of food prepared in Zac Brown's traveling kitchen and merchandise vendors. Zac Brown Band will headline Friday and Saturday nights, with Amos Lee headlining on Sunday.

Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, March 4, and will be available at the Hendrix Student Center, Littlejohn Coliseum and online at www.ticketmaster.com. Tickets are $35 per day or $75 for the weekend, and Clemson students receive a $10 discount. A limited number of "Zamily" gold circle passes will be available for $50. Tickets just for Amos Lee's show on Sunday are $25 for the general public and $10 for Clemson students.

The festival will be held on the upper intramural fields, located behind the north stands of Memorial Stadium. Gates will open at 4 p.m. Friday, at 6 p.m. Saturday and noon Sunday.

'Festival-goers should expect the full Zac Brown Band experience throughout the weekend,' said Saine.

Two-time Grammy winners and 2010 Country Music Association-nominated "Entertainer of the Year," the band will put its authentic Southern stamp on every facet of the festival, from the food to the eclectic musical lineup. The concert will showcase a brand new state-of-the-art mobile stage designed for the tour featuring skyboxes, video and a light show.

Each night will feature performances by several artists signed to Brown's label, Southern Ground Artists Inc., including Sonia Leigh, Levi Lowrey, Nic Cowan, The Wood Brothers, The Wheeler Boys and Blackberry Smoke. Secret Sisters will open the show Sunday. Concessions at the festival will offer Southern-cuisine specialties created by Brown himself, along with the band's trusted chef Rusty Hamlin, including items prepared with Brown's famous Southern Ground Grub GA Clay Spice Rub and his own Brown Sauce."
