Alan Jackson will be the first to admit that he has a slight obsession with boats: the Country icon owns more than 20 boats that are 50-70 years old. “When you’re out on the water in a classic old boat, it’s as if you’ve gone back in time,” Jackson said.

 
In celebration of his love of boats, Jackson is giving fans a concert this July that is only accessible by boats on Alabama’s Lake Martin, TheBoot.com reported Jackson promises that AquaPalooza 2009 will give fans a chance to drink and party all day on the lake.
 
“We’ll probably replace a few ballads with the livelier stuff, since people on their boats are typically looking to party,” he said of the festival, which had a turnout of 2,500 boats last year. 
 
The show, which starts at 6 p.m. on July 25, will be held in the Kowaliga area of Lake Martin, near Alexandria City, Ala.
