Rock Fest announces 2013 lineup (Photos)

The annual four-day Rock Fest music festival, located near Cadott, Wis. has announced its lineup for 2013. This year's event will run from Thursday, July 18 through Sunday, July 22. It also marks the 20th anniversary of the Fest.

Korn, KISS and Motley Crue will headline the last three nights, respectively. The main act for Thursday has yet to be announced. The secondary acts also feature many artists that are currently headlining their own tours and range from hair bands (Whitesnake) to post-punk (The Offspring) to straight up metal (Megadeth). Over four decades of music will be presented amongst the four days.

Tickets are already on sale, including both reserved lawn, VIP and campsites. KISS and Motley Crue performed on "The Tour" in 2012 to rave reviews. That represents only a fraction Rock Fest's lineup, the four-day ticket offers significant value.

Thursday: TBA, Seether, Halestorm, All That Remains and Aranda.

Friday: Korn, The Offspring, Theory of a Deadman, Pop Evil, In This Moment, 4th Floor and Bumblefist.
