The venue was good, except there should be more shade trees or more shade tents and mist tents. it is along day in the hot sun. There also should have been snow cone stands or icy stands. water is not cold enough on such a hot day. you need ice to keep cool and keep your thirst quenched. great bands this year, just a very long day. the event was all on time and ran very smoothly.
Enjoyed the bands, especially as the day went on. Breaking Benjamin, Papa Roach and Godsmack all brought the house down. The lines for drinks were steadily long the entire day. I say line for drinks because all drinks, both alcoholic and non alcoholic like water, soda and Gatorade could only be purchased in the "drink line". To me, this was a massive issue as we had to stand in two seperage lines to get a meal. I understand all the alcoholic drinks going through certain lines, but to make everyone who only wanted a bottled water wait in a long line when it was hot as hell out was stupid. The food vendors should have been able to sell non alcoholic drinks. It would have cut down on the alcohol line as well as increase the food vendors lines as they seemed rather empty all day. Our group had about 20 people, with a few under 21. Would have been better for their experience as well!
Lots of great bands and they all performed well! There was plenty of room to roam around and relax. Great venue with a large variety of vendors. All of these aspects made for an awesome experience!
Great concert can't wait for next years. how are they going to top this one
The line up was great and each put on an awesome show. Still need some more shade areas.preferred stages on opposite ends of field/arena area.
We loved this years layout except for that the viewing area for VIP did not feel VIP... the bench seats should have been shaded. There were not enough chairs to go around so a lot of people were arguing and stealing chairs. VIP does not include parking and it should have.
The bands were incredible the grounds were very nice the food beverages everything was plentiful, this is the second year my wife and I went but this year we chose VIP and it was just as chaotic as the normal tickets. Way too many people in VIP it was way over crowded not enough seats could barely walk around in there, they really need to reduce the amount of people allowed in VIP.
Really good show, motionless in white was probably the best, Slipnot a godsmack were good,
Bought vip tickets and it was a total waste of money! The vip section was on the side and you couldn't even see the stages. We left vip and went to the general area so we could be by the stage and actually see the bands play. You could tell they just care about money and not people's experience. Portable restrooms were disgusting even in vip. (No surprise most are) but they could atleast have toilet paper. Heard so many complaints because of it and no one seemed to care. Also when I bought our vip tickets it was a zippo two pack. Was suppose to receive two zippo lighters upon entry to event. Come to find out they "ran out". If you are going to sale a package like that make sure you have enough for the people that paid! I can't complain about the bands because they rocked. Everything else sucked. We won't be back.
The sound was horrible. There is no shade at this site. The taxi access was ridiculous. The cops blocking access to the main road was stupid. Now for the good: No real cop presence inside venue, which was nice. The crowd was wonderful. The vendors were pleasant and well stocked. Overall I would make the trip to Rockkville in Jacksonville. Metro Park is just a much better venue!
was looking forward to seeing Godsmack. Hadn't seen them or Slipknot live before. Long story short, got to Fort Rock in time to see the last 8 bands. Vamps and in this moment we're okay. Motionless in White was surprisingly good. Godsmack put on a great show, but Slipknot was tremendous. Theatric value and music quality was awesome for an outdoor show. Would go again in a second.
Dont bother with VIP unless you need a super close bathroom, a laminite, pointless shaded seating (which is constantly full), and slightly hastier access to beverages and certain foods. i ended up spending the majority of my time right in the crowds with everyone else!. Aside from the Bible-Thumping protesters outside the gates, which were prompty blocked via covering of the gates, which were placed near the back of the event--and therefore the protesters went largely unnoticed, this whole one-day festival was amazing! I knew a decent portion of the bands playing, and each delivered! Slipknot, Godsmack, Papa Roach, In This Moment, Breaking Benjamin...all unforgettable! The Butcher Babies and The Pretty Reckless were awesome, and I even learned of a third female-fronted band known as Lola Black which were absolutely fantastic! Hot, but worth it. Drink water (which I might add, that the bands during the afternoon made a point to remind the crowd to do!).
This concert was amazing. The whole lineup performed with massive amounts of energy.
I would highly recommend people to attend these events!!!
Thank you Fort Rock for such a epic concert event. All the bands were outstanding and just can't wait to til next years for whats coming.
The bands were back to back, there was good food. I really liked the lineup for this show. Ive never been to Fort Rock but I just may be back next year. I will not pay for VIP again though. General admission had a way better view and were a lot closer than VIP. VIP was a total waste of money. Very disappointed about that.
The lineup this year was okay. The female bands were awful, I couldn't wait for them to get off the stage. The venue needs more shaded areas and the water should not cost $4 a bottle. Wish they would change it to a cooler month. Overall I had a great time with friends and family.
The line up was insane but GODSMACK and BUTCHER BABIES stole the show.
Great bands and great venue. Hope to see more bands coming to Fort Myers.
The bands were awesome but the set up of the stages and screens was not great. The screens blocked the stages. They did a great job moving between bands with no waiting time. Downside was there wasn't any shade provided for general admission seats on a 92 degree sunny Florida day. Kudos to Breaking Benjamin for handing out water to fans and Godsmack for cocktails
