The 2022 edition of the Blue Ridge Rock Festival keeps revealing more and more of their massive 2022 lineup. They began announcing acts back in February, posting additions every few days leading up to the final lineup reveal, which is yet to come.
Thus far, organizers have announced 84 of a staggering 171 artists set to appear at the festival. They began by announcing acts like In Flames, Bad Omens, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and more back in February. Currently, bands including Ice Nine Kills, 3 Doors Down, Tenacious D, Jinjer, Skillet, Anthrax, Silverstein, In This Moment, Down and more all appear on the lineup.
The festival is dubbed a "fan driven rock experience" and reports that a record-setting 285,000+ votes from fans helped determine the 2022 lineup. As such, there are a number of special sets scheduled to take place. Saliva are welcoming back original singer Josey Scott for a set, while Saving Abel have Jared Weeks returning as their front-man during their appearance.
Kittie, God Forbid, Shadows Fall, Fear Factory, The Union Underground, Texas in July and A Skylit Drive are all playing reunion shows. Sevendust (“Animosity”), All That Remains (“The Fall of Ideals”) and The Devil Wears Prada (“Zombi”) will all offer full record performances into their sets. Plus, Starset will be playing a special nighttime full production set while Eskimo Callboy will be delivering an exclusive U.S. festival appearance.
The Blue Ridge Rock Festival is set to take place September 8-11 at Virginia International Raceway in Alton, Virginia. After issues with traffic and camping last year - you can read our full chronicle of the 2021 edition here - organizers have announced expanded camping check-in day hours to ease entry and traffic at the new location.
Additionally, the mainstages will sit side-by-side to reduce walking and overlapping sets. They also boast "one epic pre-party and three electrifying club experiences."
