Every summer, A Festival Of Rock is one Raleigh’s biggest festivals. In 1982, the tour was started after the city’s residents decide they wanted a huge celebration in the ample city parks. Thomas Easley came up with the specifics for A Festival Of Rock while listening to his favorite tape. The new event did not receive much financial support or much advertising, so the festival started out pretty small, using a lot of local artists..

It took a few years, but eventually the city's residents embraced A Festival Of Rock The tour began to book acts that were known nationally and the festival started to get much press than when it began. Hotel rooms in the city were soon being booked months in advance for the dates around A Festival Of Rock.
