Rock and classic rock fans will take over the 300 acre campgrounds and concert area through the weekend to jam with Godsmack, Chicago, BOSTON, Bush, Sixx:A.M., Rick Springfield, Chevelle, Queensrÿche, Blues Traveler, Little River Band, KIX, Foghat, FireHouse and ThundHerStruck. Even though the festival "officially" starts on Thursday, many three day ticket holders come a day early for the free Pre Jam Party featuring bands on the Saloon and main stage. This year Killer Queen, Europe's top Queen tribute band, will headline the Pre Jam Party with The Fabulous Armadillos & Collective Unconscious Tribute to the Eagles opening for them. Moondance owner and promoter Kathy Bieloh said that she wouldn't be surprised to see a record number of campers on the grounds on Wednesday this year with this being the 25th anniversary, "Our reserved campsites were sold out early back in March and a lot of those were for four days. Plus we get a lot of Jammers who decide to upgrade to four day camping at the get when they get here." Even if you didn't get your reserved camping ahead of time, there will still be plenty of sites available in the general campground that can be ordered until Monday or at the gate when you arrive.
