November 27, 2012 (Baton Rouge, LA)—The much-anticipated talent lineup for the fourth annual Bayou Country Superfest was announced today and brings together an unrivaled gathering of some of Country's greatest superstars, including Lady Antebellum, Zac Brown Band, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Darius Rucker, The Band Perry, Thompson Square, Rodney Atkins, Love and Theft and Frankie Ballard.   Scheduled over Memorial Day Weekend 2013 (Saturday, May 25 & Sunday, May 26), Bayou Country Superfest turns Louisiana State University’s famed Tiger Stadium into country music central for the huge two-day celebration.  Drawing fans from all across North America to Baton Rouge, the Bayou Country Superfest has established itself as a must-see event. 

“Year four of the Bayou Country Superfest is a milestone,” said Quint Davis, producer/director of the Festival. “We have set a simple goal: to bring the biggest stars in country music together for the best show in America, a show that the world can only see in Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Memorial Day weekend. And that is exactly what we have done: Lady Antebellum, the Zac Brown Band, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, The Band Perry, Darius Rucker and more will rock your boots off, and prove once again, there is no place more exciting than Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge on Memorial Weekend.”

Reserved-seat tickets in two-day packages and reserved parking for Bayou Country Superfest go on sale Thursday, December 6 at 10:00 a.m. CST through Ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster outlets or by calling (800) 745-3000.  Single-day tickets to the Bayou Country Superfest will go on sale in the coming weeks.  The Baton Rouge River Center Box Office will also be open weekdays from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. for any ticketing or parking purchases.  Bayou Country Superfest is a reserved-seating event, so fans are encouraged to purchase tickets early in order to get the best seats available.  Special VIP upfront, stage-front, standing-room tickets in an area called the Golden Horseshoe will be available in very limited supply.  A limited number of discounted two-day ticket packages will also be available at certain price levels.
