Fest Improvements

HEY Rockers!

YOU are the reason we get to do this festival year after year. With that understanding, we continue to invest in our infrastructure to make your festival experience the best possible experience it can be. We take fan feedback to heart and if there is something you’d like to see us improve, feel free to drop us a line – info@rock-fest.com

Here’s what’s been keeping us busy in the off-season…

NEW: Moshing

In the past, we’ve held back on moshing at Rock Fest to ensure everyone’s safety, which is our top priority. We know, however, that moshing is a vital part of rockers’ release and metal experience for many of you. We’ve listened to your feedback and are excited to introduce a moshing area at the Budweiser Boneyard stage as a pilot program. This allows us to embrace the energy of moshing while maintaining a safe environment for all festival-goers. We’re setting up designated zones for both moshers and non-moshers, ensuring everyone can still enjoy the show up close. Please note, for everyone’s safety, hardcore dancing styles or flail moshing will not be permitted. Let’s rock responsibly, keep an eye out for our brothers and sisters, and make this a memorable addition to Rock Fest 2024!

NEW: Rent a locker

Introducing locker rentals through our partnership with Lock N Roll! Whether you need to stash a phone, keep your bag secure, or store a cooler, we’ve got a range of locker sizes tailored to your needs.

  • Small Lockers: Perfect for phones, keys, and personal items. (6″x11″x18″)
  • Medium Lockers: Ideal for small to medium bags and shoes. (8″x11″x18″)
  • Large Lockers: Spacious enough for large bags, coats, and coolers. (13.5″x11″x18″)

Choose to reserve your locker online in advance or rent one on-site using cash or credit. Each locker comes with your personal lock for security, allowing you unlimited access during event hours. Plus, opt for a phone charger add-on at checkout to ensure you’re always powered up to capture every moment and stay connected. Enjoy the fest without the extra baggage!

NEW: Corporate office

As our festival family has grown, so has our team behind the scenes. This expansion was essential not just for elbow room, but to fuel our mission: to continuously elevate your festival experience and dream even bigger. Our new space is where the magic happens all year round, from planning lineups to brainstorming the next big festival feature. It’s here that we’re laying down the tracks for future Rock Fests, ensuring each year is more epic than the last.

UPGRADE: Artist headquarters

While the magic unfolds on stage for you, our artists will now enjoy an even more welcoming and spacious sanctuary backstage, thanks to the remodeling of our old corporate office. After long stretches on the road, this enhanced backstage area offers our performers a much-needed haven. With expanded dressing rooms and double the previous space, artists can relax, recharge and enjoy some privacy away from the spotlight. It’s our way of saying thank you to the incredible talents who make Rock Fest the unforgettable experience it is. Though most fans might not see this backstage transformation, know that it’s part of our broader commitment to ensuring everyone at Rock Fest, from fans to artists, has the best possible experience.
