KANROCKSAS ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR FUTURE
Due to a major construction project at Kansas Speedway during the summer of 2012, Kanrocksas Music Festival will not return until 2013. Following the successful inaugural Kanrocksas Music Festival at Kansas Speedway in August 2011, and after a lengthy evaluation process, festival organizers have decided to spend 2012 working with local and national music communities to plan the second Kanrocksas Music Festival for summer 2013. To amplify the momentum created by the first-year festival, organizers will continue to grow and expand the brand with big-name acts, added amenities and trending technological features.
In 2011, festival-goers from across the nation and around the globe attended Kanrocksas Music Festival spurred by big name headliners Eminem and Muse, along with national and local musicians representing virtually every genre. As the first major music event to take place at Kansas Speedway, festival organizers succeeded in creating a one-of-a-kind experience. Kanrocksas is committed to continuing to provide a fan friendly environment, including free onsite parking and camping, for the 2013 event while focusing on enhancing the traditional festival experience.
THANK YOU FOR HELPING US MAKE THE FIRST KANROCKSAS SO MEMORABLE
You, the fans who came to Kanrocksas this year, helped us create a special event and we’re writing to say thank you! In fact, we think you helped make this the best first-year music festival ever. Having a good time all the while being respectful of your fellow festival goers is one of the keys, and you delivered. What a great vibe!
Thank you, too, for all the suggestions to make next year’s festival even better. You’ve given us some excellent ideas, everything from free water outside in the campground to improvements we can make to the VIP experience. So keep the ideas coming. We’re listening, and we’re really excited about the opportunity to have even more fun next year.
Finally, we’ve had a lot of questions about attendees. Here’s the scoop: we had people from 47 of the 50 states, and from Canada, Australia and Ireland. We hope each of you made some new friends. We did.
Hope you have a great year and look forward to seeing you again next year!
