ODESSA, TEXAS - The 14th annual Rock the Desert Christian music festival has announced its lineup for the 2013 show that begins August 1.

The three-day event has been held at 2000 S. FM 1788, on private land located about two minutes from Midland International Airport, since 2004, organizer Marcy Tull said.

“Last year, our emphasis was on a mixture of bands and ministry combined with skateboarding and motocross,” organizer Marcy Tull said. “That’s where they do flips like at the X-Games. This year, we’re bringing that back and also speakers from the Whosoevers for Thursday. The band Flyleaf is part of that. We’ve wanted Flyleaf to come here for eight years and we were finally able to do that.”
