Some big names in music are set to perform as part of this year’s concert season at the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids.

The outdoor music venue announced its full lineup on Thursday, including shows by country star Sierra Ferrell, indie rock staple Wilco, fusion band Little Feat, singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus, reggae act Ziggy Marley, blues guitarist Buddy Guy, alternative country players Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, folk singer Jesse Welles, classic rock band The Beach Boys, jam band favorites Umphrey’s McGee, Southern rockers ZZ Top, and more.

It also includes a pairing of St. Vincent with the Grand Rapids Symphony, similar to the concert the art rock act has planned with the Detroit Opera Orchestra this July.

The lineup includes 34 concerts from May 27 to Sept. 16. Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday, April 18 for members and 9 a.m. Friday, April 24 for the general public at axs.com/MeijerGardens. The venue seats 1,900, and guests are welcome to bring low-rise folding chairs or blankets to sit on.
