The high-octane Rock Fest is poised to rock Hurlburt Field this Friday, May 12, following the Commando Games. The free event promises an evening of live music featuring headliners Stone Temple Pilots, with Fuel and The Dirty Hooks also sharing the stage.

Doors open at 6 PM with the first chords ringing out at 6:30 PM. The concert will be held at the Outdoor Recreation and Marina on the Soundside (boat docks/parking lot). It is open to Department of Defense (DoD) Card Holders and Sponsored Guests with Hurlburt Field Base Access.

Concert-goers are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the performances in comfort. Please note, however, that outside food and beverages are not allowed. Beer will be available for purchase on a cash-only basis.

For those wondering about parking, there will be no on-site parking at The Soundside. Instead, shuttles will be available from two locations: Exchange/Commissary Parking Lot and the 505 CCW Parking Lot. The shuttle service starts at 4:30 PM from both lots.

This event is sponsored by Cox Communications, Eglin Federal Credit Union, Rock 92.1, USO Florida, CCS Floor Care Specialist, and Mayroad. For any questions related to the event, potential attendees or volunteers can reach out at 850-884-6884.

“We’re honored to support our military members and their families as they protect our country,” said David Deliman, Cox Gulf Coast market vice president. “This is just one way we can say thank you for the sacrifices they make every day.”

Get ready to feel the energy and excitement this Friday as Hurlburt Field kicks off Rock Fest 2023!
