SymbolFest.com received a threat from a Widespread Panic fan via email. See screen capture below. To address these threats:
- *No, we are not collecting names, email addresses and IP information illegally. Nor is it our intent to misuse the information that the public is voluntarily submitting to RSVP their 4 FREE tickets to SymbolFest 2015, which everyone will be receiving via the email address they provided. As promised and nothing else. Free! This exciting creative event is not being conducted in an effort to misuse your digital information.
- We suggest that you don't waste the legal system's time and energy or fill out the form below to RSVP future collector items if you don't want free tickets.
Settle down. Smoke some weed. Breathe angry hippy, breathe. Don't let your digital emotions get the best of you. Here is an emoji hug from our committee to you: \O/
Very sad festival updates:
- Widespread Panic has cancelled their "Set 2" performance because of being in Nashville. "Set 1" is still being confirmed! Fingers crossed!
- Darius Rucker's camp can not make it to our new location, which is to be determined still. Maybe in Beloit or something.
Stay tuned for more exciting information about Symbol Fest 2015 and RSVP your FREE tickets now before they're all gone!*

SymbolFest 2015 is being relocated due to overwhelming ticket requests and parking concerns that have arisen with Labor Day Weekend in Rockford. A large water slide and another secret food music festival featuring Foreigner with Lou Gramm has provided additional security concerns. Our committee has reached out to surrounding community event planners in Loves Park, Machesney and Beloit for assistance in finding a new location. All ticket requests will be honored at the new location. Check your email and spam folders this week for your tickets. We have new food vendors and major announcements:
- Maroon5 is cancelled.
- The Snaggs are reuniting to replace The Pimps time slot.
- Jill Foster & The Project Soul, a Mariah Carey cover band from Michigan, is replacing Kelly Clarkson.
Please continue reserving tickets for SymbolFest 2015 and check back often for festival updates!
