Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp is marking its 30th year with a milestone all its own. The organization has announced the fourth Women’s Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp, led by Belinda Carlisle, Kate Pierson, Kathy Valentine, Cherie Currie, Beth Nielsen Chapman and more to come.
The camp runs November 5-8, 2026 in Los Angeles, CA, and packs two immersive experiences into one event. Campers can join a band and perform live at two of LA’s most iconic rock venues while jamming with their heroes, or dive into a songwriting track focused on crafting original music with GRAMMY-nominated and winning writers. 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,” says Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member and Go-Go’s lead singer Belinda Carlisle.
B-52’s founding member and vocalist Kate Pierson is just as eager. “I’m really looking forward to collaborating and getting creative with the campers,” she says, adding that she’d love to share any lessons from her years in the music business. “See you there, happy campers.”
The rock performer track spans four days of rehearsals, jam sessions and Q&As, with each camper mentored by a rockstar counselor before taking the stage. The bands close things out live at the legendary Whisky a Go Go and The Viper Room. This year’s counselors include Eva Gardner (P!nk), Valerie Franco (Spinal Tap II), Ashley Reeve (Cher, Filter), Holly West (Zepparella) and Britt Lightning (Musical Director of Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp, Vixen).
The songwriting track pairs aspiring writers with proven hitmakers. Beth Nielsen Chapman, whose songs have reached Elton John, Bonnie Raitt, Bette Midler, Willie Nelson and Neil Diamond, leads alongside GRAMMY-winning writer and producer Autumn Rowe (Dua Lipa, Pitbull, Cher). Songwriting campers also take part in Q&As with Carlisle, Pierson, Valentine and Currie, plus mentoring sessions with Susan Silver, an architect of the 1990s Seattle grunge scene.
The songwriting track wraps with a live performance of the campers’ original material at Whisky a Go Go. Campers can also add a recording session to their experience during the week.
