Zoltan Bathory, guitarist of Five Finger Death Punch said, “Every time we’ve played Houston it’s always been a great time. There are a lot of rock and metal fans there and we’ve always had massive crowds. So it was just a question of time for the city to get its own big Rock Festival.

Danny Wimmer, founder of Danny Wimmer Presents says, “After a tough year, with nearby lightning creating challenges for Houston Open Air 2016, we’re excited to return to the Houston area this year. As we said then — and reaffirm now — we’re committed to building an incredible rock show for the Houston rock community. It’s not our preference to stop a show, or inconvenience anyone by having them seek shelter or leave the facility, but we take dangerous weather conditions very seriously and will not compromise anyone’s safety. Looking forward to bringing the rock back to Texas!”

Jason Rio, President of Live Nation Houston, says, “Houston is a great Rock City and Open Air is a great Rock Festival. We are proud to be partnering with such a well-respected company as DWP, along with our friends at CWMP and 94.5 The Buzz to bring the 2017 Houston Open Air festival to the Woodlands.”
