Hot off one of their biggest and explosive years to date, Rock Fest is looking to capitalize on that success with a no-holds-barred lineup of rock majesty in 2017. Heading up the star-studded lineup is Slayer, Avenged Sevenfold, Rob Zombie, Korn, Megadeth, and the Insane Clown Posse. 

Fans should be excited to see Avenged Sevenfold on that list for the second time in three years and the return of Rob Zombie, who had to cut his headlining 2014 set way short because of vocal issues. It’s pretty cool to see Slayer on there too, who’ve won Grammys with their pioneering punk-thrash sounds and touring the nation, rocking every which way for over 30 years.

“We’re extremely excited to continue to be able to put on such a massive event for rock fans,” says Wade Asher, a promoter for Rock Fest. “This year’s bill features a great mix of current and past rock acts including some unique performances we’ve never had.”

And there's local bands!

You might see some familiar names on the list as well: Eau Claire hardcore band Stare Across are featured on the lineup as well as 7’s Catacomb, a supergroup of Chippewa Valley musicians from different cover bands that started rocking some original music this past year.
