God Forbid, who called it a day in August 2013 following guitarist/vocalist Doc Coyle's departure from the band, have announced that they are reuniting, and will perform at this year's Blue Ridge Rock Festival, taking place September 8-11 at the Virginia International Raceway in Alton, Virginia.
A message from the band states: "It's been 9 long years. You asked for this. We answered. God Forbid is BACK to devastate the stage at the 2022 Blue Ridge Rock Festival."
God Forbid joins other previously announced reunions at this year's Blue Ridge Rock Festival, including Shadows Fall, Kittie, Fear Factory, The Union Underground, and a rare performance from Down. In total, 12 bands will be reuniting at this year's festival, as a part of the massive 171 artist lineup.

God Forbid drummer Corey Pierce adds: "“I'm very excited to once again share the stage with my brothers and reconnect with God Forbid fans. I know it's going to be ALOT of fun and a fantastic experience for ALL of us.”
Says Doc Coyle: "This is an absolute blessing to be able to perform with God Forbid once again. We are a family. What makes me most happy about this reunion is that we can share it with the fans who voiced their undying support for the band. I can guarantee that we will give 100% to make this show a night to remember.”
