First of all, Folks who want to smoke will have to work a little harder this year at Riverbend.

For the first time, the music festival is limiting smokers to designated areas.

It's a different approach from last year when organizers banned smoking in seating areas but nowhere else.
This year, Riverbend volunteers will be given anti-smoking informational cards to hand to people who light up in nonsmoking areas and the new policy will be explained to them.
Still, officials say the new rules don't mean Riverbend will eventually be entirely smoke-free, but organizers are taking changes step by step.
Riverbend is scheduled to kick off June 7.
