While the online sessions and the Rock Camp movie kept aspiring musicians engaged over the pandemic, there's nothing like the in-person experience you get from Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camps. And "campers" can look forward to four camps spread out in locations across the country in late 2021 and early 2022.

“I’m so excited to be back producing live Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camps and giving fans the ultimate music experience! I’m thrilled we are finally at a place where we can do in-person events again. It’s the best way to experience music.. IN PERSON AND LIVE," stated David Fishof, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp founder.

As with previous camps, those attending will be able to meet with and learn from some of rock's biggest names leading up to their eventual performances.

The first camp is set to take place Nov. 11-14 in Hollywood, Florida with Megadeth's Dave Mustaine leading a list of talent that includes Iron Maiden's Nicko McBrain, Judas Priest's Richie Faulkner and Deep Purple's Steve Morse. Camp counselors include Sons of Apollo's Billy Sheehan, guitar great Gary Hoey, The Firm's Tony Franklin, Dio's Vinny Appice, Disturbed's John Moyer, Vixen's Britt Lightning, Pat Travers Band's Kirk McKim, Peter Criss' Jason Ebs, Black Sabbath's Dave Spitz, Slaughter's Tim DiDuro, Cher's Ashley Reeve and Cee-Lo Green's Sharon Aguilar.

And the most recently announced camp is set for March 31-April 3 in Las Vegas next year led by Scorpions' Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs with Sebastian Bach and Queensryche. Other "counselors" for this edition of Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp include Vinny Appice, Britt Lightning, Gary Hoey, Joel Hoekstra, Slaughter's Blas Elias, The Cult's Lez Warner, Filter's Ashley Dzerigian and Chris Reeve, Slash's Zach Throne, Jason Ebs, Lita Ford's Michael T. Ross and producer Pat Thrall.

“Las Vegas has always been a favorite spot for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Campers but coming back to ‘Sin City’ with the Scorpions and Queensryche after the crazy year we’ve all been through couldn’t be more perfect and adding in Sebastian, one of the greatest rock metal singers, is icing on the cake,” said Fishof of the newly announced "camp."
