The Common Ground Music Festival 2015 is set to kick off today, after a last minute hiccup in the lineup.

At the last minute, signature act Meghan Trainor announced she couldn't attend due to hemorrhaging on her vocal cords, being replaced by Joshua Davis, although tickets bought for that day can be used for any other day.

The festival, rain or shine, will open at about five every day with most shows scheduled to start around six, according to the week's schedule. Other featured acts include Jane's Addiction, The Band Perry, Three Day's Grace, Snoop Dogg and Empire of the Sun, although VIP passes are sold out for every day except Friday and Sunday. 

Tickets are still on sale and run from $35 for general admission and $40 on Sunday, with different prices for early entry and children. 

Activities outside of the show include zip-lining, live printmaking and a Color Run.
