Some of the biggest acts are coming from around the country but for this music festival, it’s all about the local feel! The Jukebox Music Festival is going to hit the Shasta District Fair grounds in Anderson in Redding, California in July of 2012. It’s the first time for the festival to be held, and it’s all for a good local cause.

The money raised from the event will go right back into the Shasta District Fair, an event that saw much of its funding cut from the state’s budget last year. The current budget sits just under $1 million but organizers are hoping to recover some of those losses by making $15,000 – $20,000 over the course of the fair, an amount that’s about 10% of what was cut. From the sounds of the lineup, and the course of events that are scheduled, it sounds like they might just be making up all of the losses, and then some.

Alan Jackson is the biggest name, and will be headlining the event but other huge country acts will also be there including: Kellie Pickler, Joe Nichols, Ricky Skaggs, Pam Tillis, Mark Chestnutt, Daryle Singletary, and Asleep at the Wheel. In addition to that, people can set up camp anywhere on the fairgrounds in an RV or tent and spend the entire three days right in the middle of everything. To keep them entertained and refreshed, there are currently about 100 vendors also set up to serve festival-goers.

Tickets for the July 2012 Jukebox Music Festival have already gone on sale for a limited time until Friday, December 23. Once they go back on sale on February 1, they’ll cost about a bit more. Stay tuned for the Jukebox Music Fesival tickets on StubPass.com.
