Discounting the 'headliners' that's a great lineup! Damn! Flatlanders would be great to see.

even then, while there's certainly a few "new" country artists in that lineup i don't care for, Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, and ESPECIALLY George Strait, are all quite good. i may not listen to any of them, but i'm familiar with their music through my mom and other country lovin' friends (and growing up in Eastern Montana), and they're great at what they do.

The country station I work for is giving away tickets to this all next week (before you can buy them). If I'm still in the area at the time of the show I'd love to go. Fantastic lineup and a good way to see some new bands.
