Pollstar.com is reporting:
Promoter Donnie Frizzell and venue officials have filed lawsuits against each other regarding Rock Gone Wild, the Iowa-based festival originally scheduled for August 20-23.
Frizzell attorney Ted Sporer told Pollstar his client is suing Diamond Jo Casino of Northwood and its affiliates on various claims.
“The petition is based on breach of contract, estoppel by detrimental reliance, fraudulent misrepresentation and fraudulent concealment,” Sporer said. “We’re confident that Rock Gone Wild LLC will be vindicated in the Worth County lawsuit.”The festival, originally slated for Freedom Park in Algona, boasted a lineup with headliners GEORGE THOROGOOD & THE DESTROYERS, JACKYL, DOKKEN, SAXON, WARRANT, APRIL WINE, TWISTED SISTER, LITA FORD and SKID ROW.
The festival was moved to the parking lot outside Diamond Jo Casino in late July reportedly to handle an estimated 20,000 or more concertgoers.
