After months of anticipation, Common Ground Music Festival finally has announced part of its lineup.
The annual festival, which runs from July 8-14 in Adado Riverfront Park, will play host to Barenaked Ladies and Ben Folds Five on July 8. Although performers have not been announced for July 9, 10, 12 and 14, Little Big Town, The Avett Brothers and Frontier Ruckus are on the agenda as well.
Barenaked Ladies and Ben Folds Five made Common Ground a stop on their “Last Summer on Earth” tour with Guster. Barenaked Ladies released their 10th album, “All in Good Time,” in 2010.
Ben Folds Five, led by eclectic songwriter Ben Folds, has become an icon within alternative music. The group formed in 1993 and toured throughout Europe, Australia and the U.S. in 2012.
Frontier Ruckus partially is made up of MSU alumni, with frontman Matt Milia hailing from Metro Detroit. The folk band has toured across the country and often returns to Greater Lansing to play shows at The Loft.
Tickets can be purchased as daily or weekly passes online. For more information, visit commongroundfest.com.
