As seen in today’s West Central Tribune! We are so VERY GRATEFUL to all our sponsors who help us pull off Rockin’ Robbins every year.
It takes a lot of financial support and in-kind donations to make the magic happen each summer, so please make a special point of thanking these local businesses for all they do to support our community. We absolutely couldn’t do it without them!

Such a great series of concerts for Willmar! So proud of all the organizers!
How about a Friday concert I'm gone all week, haven't seen one yet
Look at that wonderful crowd
Photos from WEEK 4 with opening act Ryan Van Slooten and headliner, The Fabulous Armadillos, are now on our website at rockinrobbins.com/photos. We are so appreciative to Dennis Benson and Linda Fostervold for taking all these amazing shots! Also, a huge shoutout to our Jumbotron camera operator — Dave Hillenbrand from the City of Willmar. They are the REAL DEAL and we are so lucky to have them on our team!
Thanks also to our Opening Act Sponsor, Johnson, Moody, Schmidt, Kleinhuizen & Zumwalt P.A., and to our Presenting Sponsor, Lakeland Broadcasting. And another shoutout to Willmar Rotarian Dave Lady for killing it on the National Anthem!
Thanks for the memories, RR fans! We'll see you again in 2024!

That crazy, stealthy Tuesday night rain showed up again at exactly the wrong time, but not before our headliner, Free and Easy, pushed their way through most of their second set. All in all it was a great night, with perfect weather for opening act, Pirates, Guitars & Beachfront Bars, and a great vibe from all our RR fans! Many thanks to our Opening Act Sponsor, Westberg Eischens, and our Presenting Sponsor, TerWisscha Construction, Inc.
Next week, we have a CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED The Crown Jewels - A Tribute to Queen scheduled as our opening act, so get ready, because WE WILL ROCK YOU! Presented by Mills Automotive Group, The Crown Jewels play all your favorites Queen hits with equal parts musicianship and showmanship.
You'll also want to get to Robbins Island by 5 PM to catch West Addison Blues; West Central Minnesota's Premier Blues Brother Act, sponsored by Kandiyohi Power Cooperative. Jake, Elliot and the rest of the boys from Chi-Town will get you shaking your tail feathers during our opening act, so add it to your calendar right now!
Can't wait to see you for WEEK 3!!
