The Largest Rock venue in the world, The festival consists of a lineup that was voted by the fans. Yes, you are thinking it right, one of the biggest festivals in America is back - Blue Ridge Rock Fest 2023. This is year’s lineup is unbelievable and features the biggest names of music that the fans wanted to see.
The 7th edition of the Festival returns to Virginia International Raceway (VIR), this September 7th-10th. The biggest USP of this festival is that it is a festival where the fans curate the lineup. The previous years the festival has hosted the best of the bests like - Slipknot, Mudvayne, Rob Zombie, Ghost, Alice Cooper, Ice Cube, Limp Bizkit, Lamb of God, Anthrax, Megadeth, Shinedown, Godsmack, The Offspring, DMX - to name a few. The other key thing to mention is the Club Experience. After the main festival, every night from 11 PM - 2 AM some of the biggest names of Hip-Hop put out some legendary performances. Previous years have featured major artists like - Nelly, Ludacris, T-Pain, Lil Jon, and many more.
This year the lineup is one of the best you can imagine - Pantera, Shinedown, Limp Bizkit, Evanescence, Megadeth, Lamb of God, Parkway Drive, The Pretty Reckless, Black Label Society, Machine Head, and the list goes on. There will be some massive reunions and special performances to look out for like - Coal Chamber, Flyleaf with Lacey Sturm, Biohazard, Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Vince Neil of Motley Crew, Scott Stapp of Creed, Cavalera Conspiracy performing a Sepultura Set, and a lot more.
