Michigan’s long-running hard rock music event Dirt Fest will be returning in August 2014 with one of its most diverse lineups to date.

Taking place August 9 in the [usually] quiet town of Birch Run, the sixteenth annual Dirt Fest will welcome a wide array of rock bands from around the country, including smaller bands based in the midwest. The full lineup includes: Killswitch Engage, Sid Wilson of Slipknot, Powerman 5000, Hed PE, Nonpoint, Chimaira, Battlecross, Gemini Syndrome, Tantric, Smile Empty Soul, Local H, Redlight King, Like A Storm, Nothing More, Eyes Set To Kill, Gift Giver, Blue Felix, Psychostick, and a special mystery co-headliner to be announced on July 19. You can view a promotion poster for the event below, along with a video teaser released this morning.

Dirt Fest will be hosted by Matt and Andy Dalton of Dalton Brothers Entertainment, along with Banana 101.5 FM, and is presented by Ourtunez at the Birch Run Expo Center.

In addition to VIP ticket packages, Dirt Fest will offer meet & greet opportunities and will have several media outlets broadcasting live coverage from the show and interviews with the bands. $35 general admission tickets will go on sale Friday May 23 at 10a.m. and VIP tickets are currently on sale for $80, which includes early entry into the festival, access to the VIP tent, raised seating, access to the private bar where the bands hang out, private VIP restrooms, and an event t-shirt.
