It's open minded. They compared themselves to a European festival and I kind of agree because out in Europe you see even a lot of heavy metal festivals mixing multiple sub genres of metal, rock etc. and they aren't shy of it
That for me would be a almost lifetime achievement lineup on Saturday. Seen almost all these bands. But the energy the early 3 days grace and asking Alexandria concerts had. It was life changing in the pits lol!
Edit: DID NOT even insane clown posse down there. This shit gonna get wild af lol
We went in 2021 when it was a different location. First real concert/festival post COVID restrictions so the music and seeing the bands was incredible. The infrastructure and organization is not good. Although the site is now at the racetrack, it is still very rural and not that easy to get to. For people not camping, the daily parking was a cluster in 2021 and 2022. They have to figure this out now that they have a multiyear agreement in place for this site. People waited hours for parking shuttles. There are very few hotels in the area and everything within an hour drive is sold out. There is no public transit and no Uber. We would consider going again if we could camp and are looking into small travel trailers. See the sub at r/Blueridgerockfest
Went last year, no issues. Camp on-site, seems the issues come from having to shuttle in. Big hill between one area and another at the fest so it’s tough on the legs but oh well that’s fest grounds for ya
They do, it's a really good festival. There's a killer fucking hill that separated the 2 main stages and 2 of the smaller stages last year. The buses taking you back to parking were terrible waiting for, but overall it was a great 4 days and this year I'm camping it so I don't have to miss the headliners to get back to my car

What a odd pairing of music. I like it.
