Comstock Music Festival – Comstock Rock 2009

The dates for the 2009 Comstock Music Series, Comstock Rock have been announced. It will be held July 31, 2009 through August 2, 2009. The Comstock website states that the dates may be flexible for a couple of years until they find the dates that work best.

Last year was the festival’s first year under new ownership by Jim Proskocil. He intends to put the festival back on track. The annual event is held in Comstock, NE.

There are no lineup announcements yet and no word on when tickets will be available. Be sure to check back because we will update as soon as information is available. Update 3/15/09: Tickets are on sale but it appears the festival is having some trouble obtaining corporate sponsors. We’ll keep you posted!

Update 6/23/09: The festival is being held July 31 – Aug 2, 2009 and the location on the grounds has been moved to two miles east of Comstock on Comstock-Ord Road. The festival will be set up on the south edge of the property behind a windbreak. The festival is being completely started over so this year it is being dubbed a “Pasture Party” and will feature a beer tent with beer bands playing for 3 days. So it doesn’t appear that there will be any headlining bands this year, but there will still be a party for all of you interested. Tickets are $40 for all three days if purchased before July 1. After July 1 prices are $20 a day or all three days for $50. Camping is free, no electricity available but you can bring generators, parking is free, and children are free. The owners would appreciate feedback, questions, suggestions, etc at service@comstockmusic.net. For more information or to obtain tickets, please visit the official website.

Comstock Festival Still On for 2008?

Britne — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 22:45:00 +0000

There were rumors earlier in the year that the Comstock Windmill Festivals were cancelled for this year and maybe permanently. The owner, Henry Nuxoll, was facing lawsuits and unpaid bills. A Missouri man, Jim Proskocil, who grew up near the Nebraska sandhills where the festivals are held has purchased the property and intends to continue the festival under the new name Comstock Music Series. Jim has 17 years experience in county fair management. I hope he is able to put this festival back on track. I believe it has many loyal fans and the small community where it is held benefits from it every year.

The dates for the country festival are July 10 – 13 and the Rock festival is July 17 – 20. The festival is held in Comstock, NE (hence the name) and there are many camping and ticket options available.

The lineup for this year:

Thursday

All Regional Bands

Friday

Saturday

Sunday

In an interview with TV station KHAS channel 5, the new owner stated the show will go on and he is hoping people will show up to make it a success. Performers are still being worked out for the rock concerts. There will be more bands announced. “You’re not going to see any $225,000 bands there, but what we have is very very good and accountability is something I am looking at. We have to balance the budget here a little bit. I think this is extremely good to be starting 7 weeks before the concert,” said Jim Proskocil. There will be other changes to the festival such as added attractions and displays.
