SET TIMES: Your Blue Ridge Rock Festival 2023 schedule is here!

The Blue Ridge Rock Festival 2023 Official App will be LIVE next week, allowing you to conveniently customize your own Artist Schedule for each day of the Festival!
Many companies often shy away from sponsoring a Rock/Metal Festival due to preconceived beliefs about this genre of music. A sincere thank you to Monster Energy, ZYN, Famous Monsters of Filmland, and Smartpunk for not only supporting this amazing community, but believing in our unique mission of a truly Fan Created Festival & Experience.
FOOD VENDOR LINEUP: For many, it's their Favorite Lineup of the year 😉 Feast your eyes on your 2023 Food Vendors! To save you time analyzing on-site, we have specified which ones have Vegan, Vegetarian, and Gluten Free options 😀

HISTORY AWAITS... 15 Days. 🤘
IT'S OFFICIAL: YOU DID IT! North America's Largest Rock & Metal Festival now resides in the unlikeliest of places - Alton, Virginia - where a "Festival Created By The Fans" has done the unthinkable. We have spent today just trying to fathom what has taken place. All we kept coming up with is the words: Thank You. Thank you for what you have done here. Your Voice. Your Votes. Your engagement & feedback year-round has allowed us to build something special, TOGETHER. Blue Ridge has always been an underdog story. It has been a path filled with countless hurdles and pushback due to many of the stereotypical norms it defies. The fans have kept the mission of Blue Ridge going, against all odds. To now make history...to type the words "Sold Out"...is nothing short of surreal. We want nothing more than to make this year's Blue Ridge Rock Festival not just an escape or a vacation, but a true highlight of your entire year. No matter who you are, where you are from, and what you believe - when you step foot at Blue Ridge we are ALL United By Rock. You have created a magical atmosphere, electrifying, passionate fan base, and a special community. Together, we will continue to make History.
