Country stars Old Dominion are bringing their catchy, laid-back sound to this year's Live Fest in Naples. They'll be joined by '90s rockers Goo Goo Dolls.

Organizers announced the lineup for the fifth-annual music festival Monday morning.

Tickets for the December concert go on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday, May 23. General admission tickets are $145.

"VIP Experiences" tickets start at $340 for Live Pit seating closer to the stage. They go as high as $1,300 for the stage-side lounge.

Old Dominion's witty, infectious country hits include "Hotel Key," "One Man Band," "Written In The Sand" and "Memory Lane." They've been named Group of the Year six times at the Academy of Country Music Awards (ACM Awards) and five times at the Country Music Awards (CMAs).

Goo Goo Dolls are best known for '90s rock hits such as "Iris," "Slide" and "Name." The group was founded by bassist Robby Takac and singer/guitarist John Rzeznik.

Live Fest will also feature Georgia-born country singer Lauren Alaina, who was the 2011 runner-up on "American Idol." Her hits include "One Beer," "Road Less Traveled" and "Dancin' In the Moonlight."

All three musical acts perform 5-10 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 14, on the driving range at Tiburon Golf Club at The Ritz Carlton Golf Resort.

The outdoor Live Fest is part of the Grant Thornton Invitational, a mixed-team golf event featuring PGA and LPGA pros. The second-annual tournament replaced the previous QBE Shootout, which Greg Norman founded more than three decades ago and had been played in Naples since 2001.

General admission tickets don't include seating, but you can bring your own lawn chair. VIP tickets, including Live Pit seating closer to the stage, come with chairs.
