Rock Fest Organizers said in a statement "In working with local health officials, we were told that having a festival of our size in July is at too high of a risk due to COVID-19. This is an unprecedented situation that we have to take seriously. The health and safety of our fans and rock music community is and always will be our #1 concern!"

Fans were offered refunds or the opportunity to roll their tickets over to the following year.
