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.
2023 FESTIVAL ANNOUNCEMENT: “The Hill” is no more… One of your most requested improvements is now official: We are removing The Hill from the Blue Ridge Rock Festival Arena for 2023. After a year under our belt at VIRginia International Raceway we assessed internally and took your feedback into modifying the Festival Arena to no longer include this and achieve the below improvements in the process.
WHY REMOVE THE HILL?
- It was one of your most-requested changes following last year’s Festival.
- Removing it allows us to make the distance between the Stages SHORTER, allowing you to get to/from Stages QUICKER. Less time spent walking —> More time spent watching bands you love!
- Stages 3 and 4 will now be on nicer terrain, allowing for more comfortable walking, better performance viewing, and more enjoyable seating in the grass to recharge or take in a set from afar.
- Improves ADA Accessibility
- Allows the Club Experience & Pre-Parties to have more advantageous placement and appetizing production within the Festival Arena.
- Lastly, we rather fans be able to pour more into giving that trademark Blue Ridge crowd energy and intensity for your favorite Artist’s performances, rather than expending so much stamina each day on The Hill.
BUT I LOVE THE HILL?! Now, we understand many of you have been training for The Hill or love the challenge it brings. Rest assured, you will still be able to see it, conquer it, or just take a photo with it… it will just no longer be a mandatory element in order to get to/from our side-by-side Main Stages and our Side Stages!
More to come! https://t.co/8iJ3RkpLnf
