BOBStock 2013 - Featuring Headlining Act Blue Oyster Cult


97-5 Bob FM, Viaero Wireless and Media Logic Radio are excited to announce Blue Oyster Cult as the headlining act at Bobstock 2013, July 5th and 6th in City Park in downtown Fort Morgan.

Blue Oyster Cult (often abbreviated BOC) is an American rock band from Long Island, New York, best known for such hard rock songs as "(Don't Fear) The Reaper", "Burnin' for You", and "Godzilla". Since the release of their self-titled debut album in 1972, the band has sold over 24 million albums worldwide, including 7 million in the United States alone. The band's music videos, especially "Burnin' for You", received heavy rotation on MTV when the music television network premiered in 1981, cementing the band's contribution to the development and success of the music video in modern pop culture.

BOC continues to tour having just wrapped up an Australian tour that included shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. BOC has dozens of shows scheduled throughout the United States in 2013 including Bobstock.

97-5 Bob FM has changed the schedule for the 6th annual Bobstock music festival. This year the music will begin at 5:30 PM on Friday July 5th and again at 10:30 AM on Saturday July 6th. Bobstock is free to attend and will feature 15 different bands from 3 different states and the region.

Bobstock will feature several new events including a “Taste of Morgan County” sponsored by the Roots Group, and the Fort Morgan Area Chamber of Commerce has moved the Community Breakfast to be in conjunction with Bobstock. The Fort Morgan Lions Club will cook the pancake breakfast on Saturday morning. The Fort Morgan Chamber will again feature vendor booths throughout the park, plus Zumba to benefit SARA House, a poker run for Choices & Freedom to Cowboy Up, a pledge walk hosted by the Humane Society and the Elks Lodge beer garden.
