Yes, absolutely! A lot of people have been asking about the possibility of having a Rockfest in Kansas City this year. We’re still working on getting everything together, but we’re definitely planning to have one!
The rumors started this week when a business owner contacted the National Rock Festival Association and asked if they could be a vendor at the 20event.
The Kansas City RockFest is not happening in 2019. There are no plans to bring the festival back, but that doesn’t mean it won’t return in the future. We all love the RockFest experience, so keep an eye on this website and social media for future announcements.
According to the NRF Association’s website, they have contacted the city and county to see if it’s possible.
The City of Kansas City did say that they still need to discuss the details of this year’s Rock On The Plaza event.
The city of Kansas City and the county have not contacted the NRF, according to KCUR.
Well, the good news is that it looks like the festival will still happen this year! The bad news is that it won’t be in Kansas City, but in California. “The 2019 Rockfest will be held at the scenic Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino in Indio, California. The venue is an ideal location to bring together the diverse community of music fans that make Rockfest such an incredible experience. We look forward to sharing more details soon!”
So, for now, it’s unclear if the rumors will continue.
The good news is that the venue for the festival is still available. The bad news is that it hasn’t been rented yet. Rock On The Range and CMA Fest are still scheduled to take place this year, so it’s not clear if a cancellation is in the works for the city’s biggest music festival.
If the rumors do continue to build, the state fairgrounds will be in full swing by the fall, so no new plans could be made until then.
While the Rock on the Range festival moved to Cabela’s in 2019, it’s possible that the popular three-day outdoor concert could make a comeback at Kansas Speedway in 2020. The state fairgrounds were also rumored to be a potential home for a Rock on the Range event in 2020, but the festival’s Facebook page has not yet been updated to reflect any future events.
The state fairgrounds are typically set up for the annual State Fair of Missouri.
No, the popular rock concert will not be returning to the State Fairgrounds in 2020. The concert was last held at the fairgrounds in 2019.
The fair runs from Labor Day until the 26th of the month, and the last day is set aside for the KC Royals to play ball.
The annual Rock on the Lawn will not be happening this year. The city of Kansas City canceled the annual free concert due to the coronavirus outbreak. If you want to watch live music from your own home, or even host a little impromptu concert, check out KC Live!
Conclusion
Like last year, the Rockfest will not be happening this year. Don’t panic! We’ll continue to keep you updated on when and if there will be another Rockfest in Kansas City.
