BW&BK; has received the following press release:

The Moondance Jam, the country’s pre-eminent classic rock festival, has announced the initial booking for this year’s festival, which takes place July 14th - 17th, 2010. Legendary southern rock band LYNYRD SKYNYRD will headline the closing night of the festival on Saturday, July 17th at the festival grounds in Walker, Minnesota. Tickets are available now at this location or by calling 1-877-MOONJAM.

Tickets are now available in a variety of packages. Concert goers can purchase Rockstar All Access, three-day VIP, three-day general admission, weekend packages and single day admission, as well as camping sites and parking passes by contacting the Jam office in Walker. During the first two weeks of December (December 2nd - 15th), fans can take advantage of a special offer and save $40 off of their three-day ticket purchases.

An official announcement concerning the festival line-up is due sometime in early 2010. Expect 15 bands to pack the main stage over three days and many more side stage acts to be added in the coming months in addition to Skynyrd, who will be making its fourth appearance in Walker.

The Moondance Jam has been held at the same location in Walker since 1992. This year marks the 19th edition of the festival, which was started by resident Bill Bieloh. The Moondance Jam and its sister festival, Moondance Jamming Country Fest, help bring thousands of music fans to the Walker area every summer. Its bucolic location, situated near a huge lake on a site located three hours northwest of Minneapolis, houses thousands of camping sites during the festivals, and has been cited by many as to why they return year after year to Walker for the shows.
