Canada’s Festival City is about to get much louder this summer with the announcement of Rockin’ Thunder, a two-day, hard-hitting rock festival. The inaugural event will take over the iconic Exhibition Lands Racetrack July 11-12, with performances by some of the biggest names in rock history: Def Leppard, Weezer, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Stone Temple Pilots, Bret Michaels and many others.
With confirmed performances from rock legends and alt-rock icons, this newly announced festival is anticipated to become the most talked about event of the summer. Celebrating decades of timeless hits that define the genre’s lasting legacy, Rockin’ Thunder will deliver a once-in-a-lifetime lineup, making it a dream come true for fans of classic and contemporary rock music.
“We’ve always dreamed of bringing a rock lineup of this calibre to the Prairies, and with the incredible energy and love for music that defines Canada’s Festival City, it felt like the perfect time. Alberta music fans are among the most passionate in the world and we’re beyond thrilled to finally bring the first-ever Rockin’ Thunder festival to Edmonton!” said CEO of Rockin’ Thunder Music Festivals, Troy Vollhoffer.
Kicking off on Friday with iconic multi-Platinum metal band Queensrÿche, the festival’s first day will also see performances by Canada’s own supergroup Toque, Multi-Platinum music icon and legendary singer-songwriter Bret Michaels and trailblazing Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Joan Jett & The Blackhearts. The evening will close with Rock & Roll Hall of Fame icons Def Leppard taking the stage, whose high-energy live show is sure to keep the party going late into the night.
Saturday will continue to crank up the volume with another powerhouse lineup of performances by JUNO award-winning band Default, award-winning East Coast rockers The Trews, Multi-Platinum Canadian rock group, the multi-award winning Sam Roberts Band and Grammy award-winning rock legends Stone Temple Pilots.
