Drive-By Truckers, Shovels & Rope among lineup for Candler Park Music Festival

BY MELISSA RUGGIERI

The Candler Park Music and Food Festival will bring a beefed-up lineup to town the last weekend of May.

Drive-By Truckers, Shovels & Rope, J Roddy Walston & The Business, Roadkill Ghost Choir, Southern Culture On The Skids, Seven Handle Circus and Webster will perform at the all-ages event, May 29 (starting at 4 p.m.) and May 30 (starting at noon).

There are several ticket options:

• A free admission ticket (yes, tickets are required for entry and available in advance at www.freshtix.com or at the gate, pending availability). The free ticket does not guarantee admission given the limited event space, so early arrival is suggested. Children under 16, accompanied by a ticketed adult, do not require admission tickets. Limit one per person.

• A $10 event wristband guarantees admission and also allows alcohol purchase and consumption for those 21 and older.

• A $40 VIP Experience ticket includes guaranteed admission, a reserved viewing area, private concessions and restrooms and complimentary bicycle valet. Available to those 21 and older only.

Specific performance times will be announced closer to the event.
