October 21, 2026

The ultimate rock 'n' roll experience returns early next year with Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp's "Metalmania IV". Taking place from March 11 through March 14, 2027, this immersive, once-in-a-lifetime event offers rock enthusiasts of all skill levels a unique opportunity to dive headfirst into the electrifying world of heavy metal.

"Metalmania IV" will feature Geezer Butler (BLACK SABBATH),Geoff Tate (formerly of QUEENSRŸCHE),George Lynch (formerly of DOKKEN and currently in LYNCH MOB) and Tommy Aldridge (formerly of Ozzy OSBOURNE and WHITESNAKE).

The thrill of the spotlight, the roar of the crowd — it's all part of the authentic rockstar experience offered by Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp.

"Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp is about much more than learning songs," said David Fishof, founder of Rock Camp. "It's about sharing the stage with your heroes, making lifelong friendships, and experiencing the thrill of performing at legendary venues. It's an experience you'll remember forever."

Britt Lightning, VIXEN guitarist and Rock Camp musical director, said: "Rock Camp is where musicians stop dreaming about playing with their heroes and actually do it. Watching campers grow in confidence over just four days — and then take the stage at legendary venues — is one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever been a part of."

Celebrating its 30th anniversary, Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp gives music fans and aspiring musicians the opportunity to live out their dreams by performing, rehearsing, recording, and learning alongside legendary artists. Alumni include executives, entrepreneurs, hobbyists, and professional musicians who have participated in camps featuring some of the most iconic names in rock history.

Over the years, Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp has attracted an extraordinarily diverse and accomplished community. Past campers have included coach John Benton (of the Seattle Seahawks),a former lieutenant governor of Kentucky, as well as college professors, doctors, lawyers, engineers, and tech innovators. Among them is Ed Oates, co-founder of Oracle, underscoring the camp's appeal to elite thinkers and creators far beyond the music world.

Equally notable is the camp's commitment to inclusion. Today, over 40% of Rock Camp participants are women, many of whom are exceptionally accomplished musicians. In an industry long dominated by men, Rock Camp has quietly become a place where women thrive creatively, collaborate fearlessly, and take the stage alongside the legends they admire. The camps also offer "Women's Only", and "Songwriting" camps too.

Beyond the campers, Rock Camp has been equally meaningful for the artists themselves. The late Jeff Beck called the camp "the best way to give back" after everything music had given him. Roger Daltrey says in the documentary "Rock Camp" that the experience reminds him of what it felt like when he was just starting out. KISS's Gene Simmons has said he wishes Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp existed when he was coming up so young artists could learn directly from the legends.

The Rock Camp story has resonated deeply in popular culture, with appearances and coverage spanning "The Simpsons", "Billions", "Saturday Night Live", "The Today Show" and "Pawn Stars".

The documentary "Rock Camp" is currently available for free on Amazon, YouTube and all major streaming platforms.The "Rock Camp" podcast continues to spotlight unforgettable stories from artists and campers alike.

"For 30 years, Rock Camp has been about one thing — changing lives through music," says Fishof. "We've watched people rediscover their passion, gain confidence, and fulfill dreams they never thought possible. And we've seen the artists experience the same joy by giving back. Fishof adds: "What's always amazed me is the caliber of people who walk through our doors, we've had government leaders, professors, doctors, tech pioneers — and an incredible number of women musicians who absolutely crush it. Rock Camp proves that music isn't about age, gender, or profession. It's about passion."

As Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp celebrates its 30th year, the mission remains the same: no competition, no judgment — just music, connection and the experience of a lifetime.
