I posted this on Wolverinekill's Facebook to see if he has any rumors on this. Shouldn't be too long until some acts get mentioned though.

Hopefully it won't suck.

That is one weird lineup

Excellent, this means Whitesnake will be back on the road in the states this summer.

Ever since they started including new bands instead of just Classic Rock, it's been a weird festival.

The only date I have interest in is Saturday night. Seeing Megadeth and Kiss in the same night would be pretty damn cool.

That's pretty much exactly what happened w/ Rocklahoma. After a few years they realized you can only have Ratt, Poison, Cinderella, Stryper (yes they actually headlined once) and other like bands headline so many times before you have to diversify. AEG took it over and it looks like it is quite similar to Wisconsin Rockfest on a slightly smaller scale.

That's one of the worst lineups for them ever! Every headliner has already been there and so has Megadeth. Whitesnake, Offspring, and ATR are pretty decent, but it pretty much sucks other than that. The only thing that can sort of save this is if they get a huge headliner for Thursday such as Black Sabbath, Metallica, Guns 'N Roses, or Fleetwood Mac, but I don't see that happening since the biggest headliners are usually on Fri. and Sat. nights. This doesn't surprise me too much since this festival has sucked for the most part since the started having newer bands.
