COMSTOCK, Neb. (AP) — After a six-year hiatus, the Comstock Music Festival is set to return this summer to central Nebraska.
The two-day concert is set for July 23-24. Scheduled bands include Jackyl, Randall Zwarte Band, Collin Raye and Charlie Daniels Band, with more expected.
Henry Nuxoll founded the music festival near Comstock in 2000. The festivals pulled in thousands of people over the years. Past performers included Martina McBride, Rascal Flatts, Def Leppard, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Styx.
But Nuxoll ran into financial trouble in 2008. He pleaded guilty that year to writing bad checks to vendors and was ordered to serve four years’ probation and pay nearly $100,000 in restitution.
On the concert’s Facebook page, Nuxoll and his Comstock Festival Co. are listed as contacts.
