EVENT: First Annual Rapids Jam 2011 - June 16-18 Roanoke Rapids, NC

It’s being called the summer’s best entertainment value on the East Coast with over 20 concerts in three days. Organizers of Rapids Jam 2011 music festival in Roanoke Rapids announced Tuesday that Sugarland, Lady Antebellum, Darius Rucker, and Willie Nelson will headline next year’s event. More than a dozen artists are scheduled to perform during the three-day outdoor festival, being held from June 16-18, 2011.

The event is being modeled after other successful country music festivals like Country Thunder, Big Valley Jamboree, and Country Stampede.  Unlike traditional shows, fans will be able to purchase tickets to stand in front of the stage to get an even closer view of their favorite singers.  Camping will also be available during the event.

General admission, and both reserved platinum and reserved gold seating tickets for Rapids Jam 2011 went on sale Friday, December 3 at 10 a.m. and are available locally at the Rapids Jam ticket office located at the Roanoke Rapids Theatre and online at http://www.rapidsjam.com/ or by phone at 252-536-0275.
