It’s that time of year again where we can’t wait to head to Adado Riverfront Park in Lansing for the four day music festival, Common Ground Festival. The festival has hosted a wide array of artists including last year’s headliner Big Sean, as well as Rise Against and Tim McGraw.
Common Ground Festival does a great job at showcasing talent across all genres of music, from rap to alt rock to country. This year’s lineup includes Halsey, Logic, Gucci Mane and Kip Moore. Not to mention support from BØRNS, Hunter Hayes, T-Pain and many more.
Below, we’ve created our top 5 artists that you should check out at Common Ground this year as well as our favorite song by them right now!
