The 31st year of Rock Fest, the largest rock music and camping event in the United States, just unveiled its lineup loaded with cemented icons and emerging talent, many of them playing the festival for their first time when it returns to Cadott from July 17-19.

The three-day festival features five stages and is bringing more than 80 bands, including headliners Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, and Bad Omens, plus Three Days Grace, In This Moment, Marilyn Manson, Knocked Loose, We Came As Romans, Ja Rule, and more.

“This year is all about bringing fresh energy to the hayfield while celebrating the roots of rock that made us who we are,” festival promoter Wade Asher said in a recent media release. “We’re crafting an unforgettable experience for our MotherFest’n Family. Rock Fest has always been about community and passion, and we can’t wait to welcome our fans back home.”

Several ticket tiers are already sold out as annual Rock Festers already snagged their seats, though three-day and one-day general admission tickets and individual artist pit passes are now on sale. Additional passes for the campground, shuttles, and the GA Rockstar Package are also on sale.
