The venue is in the streets of Downtown Muncie at 309 S. Walnut Street (at the intersection of Charles Street). Venue set up is 4,000 reserved seats in a gated area with a lawn area for an additional 3,000 people. Two forty-foot big-screens are set up to broadcast the performances.
The Southern rock group with 18 gold and 12 platinum albums, consistently has drawn capacity crowds with every performance given since reforming in 1987, a full decade after the Freebird fell from the sky, taking the lives of founding members Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines.
Ronnie's brother, Johnny Van Zant has been fronting the band, keeping rock classics like Sweet Home Alabama, Gimme Three Steps, You Got That Right, That Smell and the rock anthem Freebird alive and well. Two original members, guitar-great Gary Rossington and founding keyboardist Billy Powell support Van Zant.
The Sulentic Brothers Band from South Bend Indiana will be the opening act. This band has opened for Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels, and 38 Special, just to name a few. Check them out @ http://www.sulenticbrothersband.com/
