As recently announced, the annualRock Carnivalis back for its second year - taking place onSeptember 30,October 1 and October 2at its new location in Lakewood, NJ at FirstEnergy Park, home of the Lakewood Blue Claws.
As with its inaugural year, which drew a staggering 50,000+ attendees, the second annualRock Carnivalwill feature classic amusement rides and entertainment, the most delicious food truck offerings, high-action Professional Wrestling, a wide selection of tasty brews, and of course! the best in local, national and international rock music performances! This year's event will also see the addition of more carnival area space and a children's fun zone. This is a weekend of big fun for the whole family!
Rock Carnivalis pleased to announce even more stellar talent performing at this year's show. In addition toSaturday headliners and heavy metal legendsTwisted Sisterperforming their can't-miss official tri-state farewell show, fans will enjoy a legendary Friday headline performance from none other than the original shock rocker himself,Alice Cooper.
Pop culture iconAlice Cooperpioneered a grandly theatrical brand of hard rock that was designed to shock. Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood and boa constrictors. With a schedule that includes six months each year on the road,Alice Cooper brings his own brand of rock psycho-drama to fans both old and new, enjoying it as much as the audience does. Known as the architect of shock-rock, Cooper (in both the originalAlice Cooperband and as a solo artist) has rattled the cages and undermined the authority of generations of guardians of the status quo, continuing to surprise fans and exude danger at every turn, like a great horror movie, even in an era where CNN can present real life shocking images. With his influence on rock & roll long since acknowledged, there is little thatAlice Cooperhasn't achieved in his remarkable career, including platinum albums, sold-out tours and any number of honors and career achievement awards. As he heads back out on the concert trail each year, Cooper insists he's still motivated to continue touring and recording albums, as well as making time for such side projects as Cooper'stown (his Phoenix-based restaurant/sports bar) and his "Nights With Alice Cooper" nightly radio show, syndicated domestically and worldwide on over 100 stations.
In addition toAlice Cooper, other newly announced artists includeClutch,Blue Oyster Cult,Zakk Sabbath,Cycle of Pain,Zebra,Jackyl,Shaman's HarvestandKyng. These artists join previously announcedRock Carnival2016 artistsOverkill,Ace Frehley,Monster Magnet,Fuel,Cinderella's Tom Keifer,Dokken,Texas Hippie Coalition,Doro, Four By Fate, Killcode, JesterandAmerican Angel.
