Founded in 2017 by a handful of Rock Fans, Blue Ridge Rock Festival was created to bring major rock names to a community of passionate, but starved Rock and Metal fans in small town Virginia. In an increasingly corporate Rock Landscape, Blue Ridge is known as “The Festival Created By The Fans”, due to uniquely placing the fan at the controls of the Festival. There is no greater representation of this fact than the record 2.1 million votes on social media that fans have cast towards booking the 2023 Artist Lineup.
