Rock Gone Wild (Canceled)

Rock Gone Wild has been canceled.

We regret to report that Rock Gone Wild ’09 has been cancelled. The cancellation was caused by the abrupt and unexpected loss of our venue at the Diamond Jo Worth’s casino in Northwood, Iowa on August 5, 2009.

Saxon, Armored Saint and Lita Ford are among the bands that will perform at the Rock Gone Wild festival, held in Algona, Iowa, U.S.A. on August 20-23, 2009.

Rock Gone Wild is 4 days of hard rock n roll debauchery at its finest. The festival, sure to be Iowa’s preeminent music destination of 2009, will be celebrating four decades of hard rock and metal and will feature more than 40 rock legends on two stages, along with regional support acts from around the globe!
