After several delays, the much anticipated Blue Ridge Rock Festival 2023 lineup has officially been dropped. Currently, they’re boasting 20 special performances or reunions. I’ve been attending since 2021 and each year’s lineup never fails to disappoint.

Main stage headliners include Five Finger Death Punch, Slipknot, Shinedown, and Pantera. Personally, I won’t be missing Slipknot this year. Last year I was in bed with a 104 fever during their set. (Thanks freak strain of strep throat!).

Returning this year we have some favorites, Motionless In White, Beartooth, Asking Alexandria, I Prevail, Cypress Hill, and Spiritbox to name a few. For those of you on the Tiktok trend train Bad Omens, Pierce the Veil, and Sleeptoken will all be making appearances as well. I’m ready to be King For A Day.
