There’s a country music battle going on in Delaware.

The Big Barrel Country Music Festival will be held at the Dover International Speedway this summer.

And it’s being sponsored by the Firefly Music Festival.

But it’s basically a spinoff of the Delaware Junction country music festival.

Big Barrel will be held in the The Woodlands near the Speedway from June 26 to June 28.

Tickets for Big Barrel went on sale yesterday for $99 apiece.

Delaware Junction tickets run $199 and go on sale today.

The Big Barrel will feature a range of country, bluegrass and Southern Rock.

It will feature Lynyrd Skynrd and Loretta Lynn as well as Merle Haggard and Sturgill Simpson.
