July 4th sees the town of Rothbury, Michigan playing host to a “party with a purpose.” It is Rothbury’s goal to harness the unique energy of the live music community into a durable social movement toward an important cause: Climate Change and Clean Energy Alternatives.

The four-day  ROTHBURY music and camping festival is being promoted as a “cultural assembly; one where music fans, artists and progressive thinkers gather to celebrate much more than music.”  Festival promoters, Madison House and AEG Live say that ROTHBURY is committed to producing a near zero-waste concert. The first to tackle a green program of this magnitude at an around-the-clock (camping) concert in the USA.

Confirmed acts for 2008 linclude the Dave Matthews Band, Widespread Panic, 311, The Black Keys, Yonder Mountain String Band featuring Jon Fishman, Snoop Dogg, Medeski, Martin, & Wood, Steel Pulse, Tea Leaf Green, Taj Mahal, John Mayer, and many others.

Visit the ROTHBURY website for info on artists, camping, lodging, tickets, and other general information.
