CRATER FESTIVAL TICKETS

Tickets go on sale Saturday for the May 19 Diamond Head Crater Festival, featuring a 1970s-infused lineup of performers including Earth, Wind & Fire, Mick Fleetwood and Yvonne Elliman.

Fleetwood, of the iconic rock band Fleetwood Mac, this time leads the new Island Rumours Band, featuring Isle faves Willie K and Eric Gilliom. Gregg Rolie, who was the lead voice of Santana hits "Black Magic Woman," "Evil Ways" and "Oye Como Va," also will perform.

Elliman also performed at last year's festival, which was the first in the crater in nearly 30 years.

Additions to the lineup will be announced later.

The festival also features a local-band showcase and dance floor, a food court and an arts-and-crafts fair. Attendance, as in last year, will be limited to 7,500. Festival goers, who will park in designated areas nearby, again will be shuttled in and out of the crater.

Tickets — $135, $150 and $175 reserved; $125 general (low-back chairs will be permitted) — go on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday at the Waikiki Shell and the Blaisdell box office. (877) 750-4400, http://ticketmaster.com.
