The one-day event set for April 14 at JetBlue Park, otherwise known as the winter home of the Boston Red Sox, will also host In this Moment, Escape The Fate, Device (with David Draiman), Pop Evil, Otherwise, Mindset Evolution and many more.

They’re talking two stages at Fort Rock – a main stage along with a Jägermeister second stage.

Fort Rock comes to you via the capable talents of Danny Wimmer Presents and AEG Live, part of the team that make Rock On The Range, Carolina Rebellion and Welcome To Rockville possible. Doing the presentation honors will be local radio station 99X.

“AEG and I have found another market with a strong rock culture and influential rock stage – 99X – that is starving for a big rock festival,” Wimmer said. “We couldn’t have asked for a better partner or location. We’ve been thinking long and hard about creating a festival in this area and now we’re ready to pull the trigger.”
