Yahoo News Gwen Stefani, Blink-182 to Headline Alabama’s South Star Festival
It looks like No Doubt’s electrifying sets at the Coachella festival may have been an advertisement for a Gwen Stefani solo tour, as the South Star Festival in Huntsville, Alabama announced Tuesday that she and Blink-182 will be its two headliners. The festival takes place in the city’s John Hunt Park on September 28-29.
The ‘90s-flavored, 20-artist event also features Beck, Shinedown, Jane’s Addiction, Sublime, Goo Goo Dolls, Jimmy Eat World, TLC, Ludacris, Juvenile and the 400 Degreez Band, Big Boi, Gin Blossoms, Pete Yorn, Candlebox, Vanessa Carlton, Winona Fighter, Bully, Dexter & Moonrocks, and Billy Allen + The Pollies.

“The fact that C3 Presents is jumping headfirst into the development of our music ecosystem and the investment they’re making into Huntsville speaks volumes about our current reputation and trajectory towards being a world class music city. Year one of the South Star Festival boasts a mind-blowing array of superstar talent that is sure to appeal to a broad audience and inject millions of dollars into our local economy. The epic scale and quality of product C3 produces will elevate our entire music landscape. Artists talk to each other about their experiences, and it’s obvious these artists have all heard good things about Huntsville. It’s an exciting time for music in Huntsville, and we look forward to welcoming music fans and visitors alike to John Hunt Park in September,” said Matt Mandrella, the city’s music officer.
In addition to live music, the event will feature a sports bar on site that will provide a way for festival goers to catch the biggest football games without leaving the park — the region “takes football season seriously and so does South Star Festival,” the announcement states.
The presale takes place Thursday, April 25 from 10am ET to 10:40am ET and prices will increase on Thursday, April 25 at 10:40am ET when the public On-Sale begins. Tickets for General Admission, GA+, VIP and South Star’s Platinum package will be available on Thursday, April 25 at 10:40 am ET at SouthStarFestival.com. Be it space, nightlife, or music – you’ll have a blast exploring this new frontier.
