In a review of Monster Energy's Fort Rock titled "Hard Rock Show A Sellout Success At JetBlue," Dave Osborn of the Naples Daily News said, "The show was golden because it sold out…a 53% increase from last year's crowd…(April 28, 2014).
"With such a demand for rock music in Southwest Florida, you never know what could happen next year…We might even expand to two days!" says producer Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents.
