Zac Brown Band has been busy preparing for their 2012 Southern Ground Music & Food Festival happening this autumn. The festival will feature live music, along with gourmet food prepared by award-winning chefs.

The lineup has been announced, and the band didn't hold back on musical guests. Joining Zac Brown Band will be Gregg Allman, The Avett Brothers, Los Lonely Boys, David Gray, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Charlie Daniels Band and many, many more. Three of the members of the Zac Brown Band- Coy Bowels, John Driskell Hopkins and Clay Cook- will also play sets with their own bands.

Fans can enjoy special "Front Porch Stage Box" tickets, which allow them to sit right on stage to see the artists while enjoying a four-course meal and complimentary beverages.

"As a fan, my dream would be right up there on stage with an act," Zac Brown said. "Someone would bring me a meal with some really good wine and beer, and I'd be able to watch the show from right there. I have a chance to show our fans the level of hospitality that we want to give them, to show them we pay attention to those kinds of details.

The festival will be in Nashville, TN September 21-22, and will move to Charleston, SC October 20-21. Tickets, the full lineup and other information are available here.
