PLANT CITY - Alan Jackson, Sugarland and Billy Ray Cyrus will be among the top acts at the 2008 Florida Strawberry Festival.

The festival's headline entertainment lineup, released this morning, reflects a wide variety, from the Smothers brothers to Tom Jones.

"We're really excited about it," festival general manager Patsy Brooks said of the stable of entertainment that ranges from Christian band MercyMe to easy listening such as Tom Jones.

The festival also is going back to offering free seating in the stadium's concrete bleachers for all shows. Last year, for the first time, fans had to pay for those seats during the evening shows.
