This year marks the 30th anniversary of Rock Fest in Cadott, Wisconsin and Lou Brutus returns as host! The 2024 edition in Cadott WI goes from Thursday July 18 to Saturday July 20 with a special bonus bash the night of Wednesday July 17.

Brutus will definitely be doing another Meet & Greet this year and it will be open to all in attendance, but we won’t have details until we get closer to the festival. He’ll sign and take pictures for as long as his schedule allows. It’s safe to assume that copies of Lou’s book Sonic Warrior and perhaps some other LB merch will be available at the main merch store. However, you should keep in mind that everything available last year sold out very quickly. You will be allowed to bring other items with you to the show for him to sign, so to insure you get a book signed, bring it with you!
