“The staff of 98.9 The Rock is very thankful to our listeners for the decades of support that has made the 25th Anniversary of Rockfest possible.  We are excited to enhance the listener experience with our move to Kansas Speedway!  This move allows us to schedule Rockfest in the warmer weather found in later spring, provides convenient parking, real facilities, a bigger footprint for the festival, and little chance of a ‘Mudfest’ repeat!”  — Bob Edwards, executive producer of Rockfest.
