This is a 4 day rock fest over the Labor Day weekend at the grounds of the late Astor World.
Houstonist.com:
Many, many moons ago, when most of our 11 readers were just in diapers or better yet, not even born, there was a mega concert event that occurred at various times in both Dallas and Houston called The Texas Jam. The Texas Jam was legendary with huge names in rock headlining an all day concert.
That was then... Rock The Bayou is now!
Rock The Bayou is going to be a four day event occurring over Labor Day weekend that will be taking place on the site that used to be Astroworld. Houstonist has not visited the site since it was demolished, so we're not sure if a concert facility has been built or if the promoters are just going to put this event on with a stage and port-a-potties in a leveled field. The promoters are touting this new facility as a "hundred acre playground for music lovers and rock enthusiasts." So it literally could just be a grass field, aren't playgrounds in schools also grass fields?
The lineup looks like a who's who of a segment of Metal Mania on VH1 Classic. Sammy Hagar, Alice Cooper, Queensryche, Ratt, Skid Row, Dokken, Great White, Warrant, Twisted Sister, Slaughter, Yngwie Malmsteen, Y&T, and many more scheduled to appear and yet to be announced.
Tickets range from $49.50 for active military members with ID, $99 for a early bird festival pass and $125 for a regular priced four day pass. Camping and RV spots range from what seem to be free to camp, to $30 for a four day car parking pass and $100 for four day RV camping.
Be sure to check the Rock The Bayou website for the latest news. They also have a forum set up for fans to interact and ask questions.
On a side note, of all the 40 plus bands that are currently scheduled to play Rock The Bayou, three have played the old Texas Jam. These artists are Sammy Hagar, Brett Michaels (when he was with Poison) and Dokken.
Not only will it be interesting to see which bands will be added, but also how well this is going to go over, for four days, in a field, off of 610 during the end of summer.
Rock on Houston.
Yes ROCK ON INDEED!!!
