FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2019 BLUE RIDGE ROCK FESTIVAL EXPANDING TO BLUE RIDGE BOWL AT INFINITY DOWNS FARM
August 30, 2019 (Arrington, Virginia) Due to an unprecedented response, the 2019 Blue Ridge Rock Festival is moving to the newly minted Blue Ridge Bowl at Infinity Downs Farm in Arrington, Virginia.
In an exciting turn of events, The FAN DRIVEN Rock Experience is moving to the freshly named Blue Ridge Bowl at Infinity Downs Farm property in Arrington, Virginia. Blue Ridge Bowl is to become the new resident venue for Virginia's largest rock festival that already offers the lowest ticket, camping and alcohol prices of any major rock festival in the USA. While keeping a strong partnership with its previous host, DeVault Family Vineyards, Lynchburg Concerts' CEO Jonathan Slye believes the expansive 380 acre venue will optimize positioning of the third year festival with options to double the acreage in future years.
I am truly humbled by the passionate support our fans continue to generate", says Jonathan Slye. "We are a small, independently organized festival with no tangible funding that is not supposed to survive. The principles that I founded this Festival continue to resonate with fans. From our mission to our pricing, we deviate from the corporate norms in every way. There is more work than imaginable to make an event with this make up a possibility, but we have a committed team and a special community. I understand that there will be some initial pauses when fans read this, but I believe they will truly be amazed with what we are now able to facilitate for them not only next weekend, but for years to come."
In an effort to assist the growth of the Blue Ridge Rock Festival, City Auditorium promoter, Dave Frey has worked tirelessly to facilitate the move to the Blue Ridge Bowl arena at Inifinity Downs Farm.
"It just makes sense", comments Dave Frey, "we have been over the DeVault property and we had to make a tough decision. Sharon and Terry DeVault have been gracious hosts and have helped us make this move so that the Blue Ridge Rock Festival can be a bigger success into the future. Moving to the Blue Ridge Bowl at Infinity Downs Farm is the best possible move for 2019 and beyond."
Several factors precipitated the move. In addition to attendance growth, safety is paramount, as Frey explains, "We have to ensure patron safety in our events and given the large volume of ticket sales, we outgrew the beautiful DeVault property. DeVault Vineyards is an excellent venue and we spent a lot of money preparing it; however, with this large of a crowd, Infinity Downs will provide a better experience for the audience and solidify the event long term. We are fortunate to have the Blue Ridge Bowl at Infinity Downs Farm."
