Rock Fest is also a block on VH1 Classic
Held annually since 1994, Rock Fest is the largest Rock Music and Camping Event in the US, featuring the best of classic and active rock. It is an annual four-day rock music festival located near the town of Cadott, Wisconsin. The Amphitheater Venue hosts more than 7,000 Campsites for Campers with RV's or Tents, as well as the Amphitheater Concert Grounds for the four days of shows that features over 20 National Rock Music Acts each year. On site there are also Convenience Stores, Merch Store, concessions, and Side Stages that feature Regional Acts in between Main Stage performances. Rock Fest is billed one of the premier outdoor rock music festivals in the United States (see line up below). It is usually held on the third weekend (Thursday–Sunday) of July. There are four beer pavilions that have live music performing in between main stage acts and until 2:00 am each day/night of the fest. Rock Fest also has a picture taking line that allows the fans to get up to the front of the stage. There is a VIP Section, reserved lawn seating, General Admission Amphitheater seating and a dropped Fan Pit in front of the stage. There is seating and excellent views of the Stage at every level.
The annual attendance of Rock Fest is between 25,000 and 35,000 people daily. Some daily crowds grow closer to 50,000 people; for example in 2012 when Iron Maiden headlined the Saturday night of the festival.
Attendance is made up mostly from the Midwest (Wausau, Wisconsin, Stevens Point, Wisconsin, Marshfield, Wisconsin area) and the Minneapolis, Minnesota area, but every state in the US is represented at this event as well as more than 14 countries outside the US.
