Merrell Crawfish Boil to take place at LP Field this weekend

311, Offspring, Boys Like Girls, Gavin Rossdale,
Soulja Boy, Flyleaf among top acts

NASHVILLE, TN - The 3rd Annual Merrell Crawfish Boil will take place on the grounds of LP Field Friday and Saturday, May 15-16. The event has been moved from its original planned site in Riverfront Park due to high water levels at the park.

Event organizers said the new site will provide great site lines and visibility for performances and ample parking. The festival entrance will be located at Parking Lot R on the southwest side of the stadium where the pedestrian bridge enters LP Field from downtown. Lawn chairs will be allowed for comfortable viewing from the new site.

"While we regret that circumstances have forced us to move the festival at this late date, we are excited about the new location and believe it will provide for a great festival experience," said Darin Lashinsky of Outback Concerts, which co-produces the festival with Blue Deuce Entertainment and Red Mountain Entertainment.

Gary Weinberger with Red Mountain Entertainment added: "We are grateful for the cooperation of Steve Underwood and Don MacLachlan with LP Field as well as Marilyn Edwards with the Mayor's office who were instrumental in making this transition possible."

The Merrell Crawfish Boil drew more than 17,000 attendees in 2008, and organizers expect another great crowd this year with acts including 311, The Offspring, Boys Like Girls, Flyleaf, Soulja Boy, Gavin Rossdale, Candlebox, Hoobastank and Saving Abel.

In addition to the music, more than 12,000 pounds of hot, spicy boiled crawfish straight from Louisiana will be served over the course of the weekend. Other food vendors will be on site as well, and there will be plenty of activities for families including the Merrell Recess Area featuring old-school games like four square, jump rope and corn hole toss.

Advance general admission tickets are only $29.50 per day and $49.50 for a weekend pass. Advance VIP tickets, which include free crawfish, private restrooms and beverage stations, are $75 per day or $140 for a weekend pass. General admission day passes are $30 at the door.
