  • Collective Soul plays at Magic Springs May 25.

Magic Springs unveiled its 2013 concert lineup recently. It’s a mix of established acts and newer ones, with pop, rock, country and gospel represented. The Aug. 3 slot is still TBA. As in years past, the concerts at Timberwood Amphitheater are free with a season pass or GA ticket, though for $5-$10 extra you can reserve a seat.

Kicking off the season is bubble-grunge favorite Collective Soul on May 25. Take a look under the passenger seat in your ’92 Accord and you might just find a cassingle copy of the band’s megahit “Shine.” On June 1, you can get a dose of ’80s nostalgia with Night Ranger and Firehouse.

“A Little More Country Than That” singer Easton Corbin is on the slate for June 8, while June 14-15 will be a praise-filled weekend, with Dove Award winners Building 429 and DC Talk alum and Christian rap pioneer TobyMac.

Country quartet Little Big Town brings their vocal harmonies and slick pop-informed hits on June 22, followed by the Fogerty-less sounds of Creedence Clearwater Revisited June 29. On July 6, Lynyrd Skynyrd rolls into town, though our own Jim Harris was less than impressed with the band’s performance last year at Riverfest. Maybe it was just an off night.

Other highlights include Canadian rockers Theory of a Deadman on July 27, CCM up-and-comers Needtobreathe on Aug. 10 and Radio Disney star Coco Jones. The full press release is available after the jump.
