2026 Starbrick Music Festival - Rock for A Cause

Our 4th Annual 2026 Music Festival is a blend of Classic 70/80/90s Rock music, that will take you back with the best hits of the ages! Music like Journey, Heart, AC DC, Three Sided Soul and more will have you rocking all night! With a packed 3-day weekend of camping, craft and food vendors, and more - this is something you don't want to miss!

We have created a fun, relaxing event for families (children under the age of 10 are FREE). We will have games and activities that can be played during the event.

Info: Thunderstruck: America's AC/DC Tribute bring their decades of combined musicianship to every stage they play, expertly recreating the AC/DC live concert experience, just the way fans remember it. They are five guys completely united and driven by their own passion for AC/DC's music. It is because of this passion that every member of Thunderstruck obsesses over the tones and structures of each song, the energy of each live AC/DC performance, as well as every piece of gear, to bring the power and entertainment of a genuine AC/DC show. Their goal is to provide "The Spirit of AC/DC" to the fans, and to bring the fans on a nostalgia road trip thru the discography of AC/DC. They want the music and energy of AC/DC to live on for many years to come. "Let There Be Rock."

Info: The Rylee Bapst Band is a group based out of southern Ohio blending blues, soul, and rock ’n’ roll into a sound that’s both fresh and familiar. Known for dynamic live shows, the music is constantly evolving night after night, never playing a song the same way twice.
