Despite Mother Nature not playing nice, Rock USA 2019, forged through the heat, flooding and mud to put on a memorable 3-day rock extravaganza. Every year Rock USA looks to build upon the previous years success. Hypervibe, Inc continually looks to improve the annual event whether it’s longer festivals, more vendors, options upon more options, and most importantly can they outdo the previous years lineup.
Invading Oshkosh, Wisconsin for the weekend were some of rock and metal’s elite that included; Five Finger Death Punch, Rob Zombie, Disturbed, Breaking Benjamin, Marilyn Manson, Mastodon, Three Days Grace, Asking Alexandria, I Prevail, Bad Wolves, Ice Nine Kills, Blacktop Mojo, In This Moment, Lacuna Coil, Killswitch Engage, Theory Of A Deadman and many more…
The 2019 edition of Rock USA checked all these boxes and a whole lot more. On paper the festival always looks amazing; however, what can’t be controlled is Mother Nature and her finicky temperament. In recent years, festival goers have survived the elements and forged their way through heat waves, sideways rain and tornadoes.
Massive kudos to this year’s event planners, security, and staff to make the best of some less than favorable conditions. Mother Nature brought poor weather conditions on Friday night and Saturday afternoon forcing concertgoers to evacuated from the venue to their cars for safety as storms passed through. Friday night’s casualty for a second year in a row was Rob Zombie’s set at Rock USA.
Fans packed each one of the 3-stages from opening band to the closing band as rushing from one stage to the next to get the a coveted spot along the barrier. Security had their hands full with the sea of crowd surfers as the crowd was fully engaged throughout the weekend. Whether it’s dredging through the mud for those world famous cheese curds or experiencing ESP Guitars along with the Music Experience.
ROCK USA…what do you have in store for us in 2020, the festivals tenth year of existence! Based on what we have seen to this point, we have no doubt that it will nothing short of EPIC.
