The Rock Fest full lineup has officially been announced! The huge 3-day rock music and camping festival is taking place from July 18-20 in Cadott, Wisconsin and is shaping up to be a massive party for rock music fans.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the festival is bringing a mix of well-known and new names, with 24 bands playing there for the first time and 75 bands total playing across their five stages. The list includes big names like Thirty Seconds to Mars, Shinedown, Parkway Drive, Beartooth, Jelly Roll, Chevelle, The Hu, and so many more!
Already, two out of the three camping areas are sold out, showing that this event is a huge hit for rock fans and excitement is high for this year’s festival.
Wade Asher, the festival promoter, has been working for the event since 1994 when the festival was just starting out. In a press release, Asher explained how surreal it has been to watch Rock Fest grow into what it is now. He said, “Looking back at the first Rock Fest being 16 and working on that small wooden mainstage in ‘94, it’s incredible to see our family grow from under 4,000 to over 30,000 today. We’re humbled and grateful for our loyal fans – the rock veterans and newcomers alike. This year’s bash is a celebration for every one of you, our MotherFest’n family.”
