On the horizon, a booming event is approaching – Rockin’ Thunder, Edmonton’s newest and most significant concert announcement of the year. This festival caters to the loud and often overlooked rock music enthusiasts in the city, promising two days of electrifying performances on July 11-12.
Leading the lineup are iconic bands such as Def Leppard, Weezer, and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, followed by Poison frontman Bret Michaels, Toque, and Queensrÿche on the first day of the festival. The following day promises an equally stellar roster with Weezer headlining, supported by Stone Temple Pilots, Sam Roberts Band, The Trews, and Default. All these acts will grace the stage at Exhibition Lands Racetrack, bringing back the thrill of live music that has been absent since the days of the Sonic Boom festival.

The festival’s CEO, Troy Vollhoffer, expressed his excitement about finally bringing a rock lineup of this caliber to the Prairie and emphasized the passion of Alberta music fans.
With a similar lineup in Winnipeg on July 9-10, Edmontonians can look forward to a music-packed weekend featuring top-notch performances. The festival’s inaugural edition in Edmonton is anticipated to be a massive success, drawing in fans from across Canada to the festival city.
