According to a posting on the House Of Hair website - the syndicated '80s hard rock/heavy metal radio show hosted by TWISTED SISTER singer Dee Snider - Rock Gone Wild, a four-day rock festival scheduled for August 20-23 in Northwood, Iowa has been cancelled. Just last month, the festival organizers had moved the Rock Gone Wild festival from Freedom Park in Algona to The Diamond Jo Casino in Northwood.
Rock Gone Wild organizers have issued the following press release:
Rock Gone Wild, an Iowa based LLC was informed by Diamond Jo Casino, LLC legal counsel on August 5, 2009, that “the event cannot take place anywhere on the licensed premises”.
Due to Diamond Jo Casino, LLC refusing to honor its obligation to provide the venue, we are unable to produce the event as planned. This matter has been referred to legal counsel.
