The Muskegon Summer Celebration, The BIG Party, presented by Esurance, announces the completion of the Miller Lite Headline Artists appearing on the Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge Main Stage for this year’s event, June 25 – July 5.  Headlining on Saturday, July 4, will be Third Eye Blind with Matt Nathanson opening.  Also, Muskegon legend, Bettye Lavette, has been added to the July 3 bill.  They join the previously announced acts, Saving Abel, Pop Evil, Burn Halo, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Loverboy, John Legend, Vaughn Anthony, Barenaked Ladies, Needtobreathe, Jason Aldean, Jamey Johnson, Kellie Pickler, Keith Anderson, Jake Owen, Counting Crows, Wild Sweet Orange, Billy Squier, War, Edgar Winter, Heart, Shinedown, Red, Halestorm, and Framing Hanley.  “We are extremely excited about the 2009 lineup,” said Board Chair, Bryon Mazade.   “We have an incredible mix of music ranging from the 1960s through today.  The music is diverse, and we are showcasing some great new talent.  The best thing though, is that our patrons can see all 27 acts for under $100.  That is so critical as we all work through these tough economic times.”
