In their 30th year of operating, Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp is thrilled to announce the fourth Women’s Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp, featuring Belinda Carlisle, Kate Pierson, Kathy Valentine, Cherie Currie, Beth Nielsen Chapman, and more to be announced.
Happening November 5-8, 2026 in Los Angeles, CA, this event delivers two immersive experiences in one: campers can join a band and perform live at two of LA’s most iconic rock venues and jam with their musical heroes, or dive into a songwriting camp to focus on crafting original music with GRAMMY nominated/winning songwriters. Women of all ages and experience levels are welcome.
"I am so looking forward to spending time with the Campers, making some music and sharing stories of my experiences in the industry," said Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member and Go-Go’s lead singer and pop icon Belinda Carlile.
B-52’s founding member and vocalist Kate Pierson said, "I’m really looking forward to collaborating and getting creative with the campers! Also I’d love to share any of my experiences in the music business that might be helpful to you all! See you there, happy campers.”
Campers choosing the rock performer track will spend four days in rehearsals, masterclasses, jam sessions, and Q&As mentored by one of our rockstar counselors and performing with special guests. Finally, the bands will perform live at the iconic Whisky a Go Go and The Viper Room. Counselors at this camp include: Eva Gardner (P!nk), Valerie Franco (Spinal Tap II), Ashley Reeve (Cher, Filter), Holly West (Zepparella), and Britt Lightning (Musical Director Rock n’ Roll Fantasy Camp, Vixen).
Campers choosing the songwriting track will work intensely with hitmakers to hone their craft. Aspiring songwriters, musicians, and lyricists of all levels will learn from GRAMMY Nominated songwriter Beth Nielsen Chapman known for her impact on contemporary pop and country music (Elton John, Bonnie Raitt, Bette Midler, Willie Nelson, Neil Diamond) and GRAMMY Award-winning writer and producer Autumn Rowe (Dua Lipa, Pitbull, Cher). Songwriting campers will also participate in Q&As with Carlisle, Pierson, Valentine, and Currie in addition to mentoring sessions with Susan Silver, an architect of the 1990s Seattle grunge music scene. The camp will culminate in a live performance at Whisky a Go Go of the campers’ original songs.
Additionally, campers also have the option to add on a recording session to their experience during the camp.
Women’s Rock Camp is exclusive to women rockers, though men can read more about the Man Cave Package on the website.
About the Camp:
Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp was created 30 years ago to provide the public with the experience of living the life of a rock star, with rock stars, for a few days and gaining their knowledge along the way. The idea came to founder David Fishof after years of producing rock tours throughout the world. He’s been honored to work with veteran rockers Roger Daltrey, Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh, Bill Wyman, Peter Frampton, and so many more. David’s desire to share this experience gave him the inspiration to create Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp.
