The inaugural Rothbury festival is set for July 3-6 at Double JJ Ranch in Rothbury, just north of Muskegon.
For more information on the festival, go to ROTHBURYFESTIVAL . com.
Here's a by-the-numbers breakdown of what fans can expect during the weekend.
Three -- The number of stages -- Odeum, Ranch Arena, Sherwood Court -- on which main acts will play, located so simultaneous music can take place throughout the weekend.
"At this size of a festival, there's no way to see everything," event producer Jeremy Stein said. "That shouldn't be the goal, really."
Smaller, less formal stages will host other types of performances.
2,000 -- The number of acres, roughly, on Double JJ land.
80 -- The approximate number of acres devoted to the stages and other festival entertainment.
200 -- The approximate number of acres set aside for camping.
20 -- Minutes it takes to walk from one end of the festival grounds to another.
50,000 -- The capacity of the event.
74 -- The number of artists currently booked, though more could be announced. Top acts include Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Widespread Panic, 311, Snoop Dogg, Primus and Modest Mouse.
Zero -- The amount of waste organizers are hoping the event will produce -- or as close to it as possible -- through composting, recycling, energy choices and carbon-offsetting.
Tickets are $250 for the concert weekend.
