Throwdown At The Campground rock and camping festival has announced single day performance lineups and onsite experiences for the June 6-9 event at the festival’s scenic 150-acre site with a private lake in Soperton, Georgia, just one hour from Savannah and two hours from Atlanta.
Throwdown At The Campground has partnered with Macon Harley Davidson for a Throwdown Takeover that will have riders from all over converge at the fest for a bike show judged by members of Buckcherry, bike-themed games and more. The festival offers fans the opportunity to engage with band members in various scenarios throughout the weekend and will include artist-hosted events and theme nights. Single day and 4-day tickets are on sale now at CampThrowdown.com. Additional “Glamping” sites are now available due to fan demand after the initial number of luxury camping options sold out quickly.
The second annual Throwdown At The Campground will feature performances from Buckcherry, Nonpoint, Taproot, Butcher Babies, World Gone Cold, RA, Otherwise, The Campfire Allstars and more, with 20+ bands performing over four days. Recent additions to the band lineup include Liliac (hard rock band of siblings of Transylvanian descent known for their performances on America’s Got Talent and The World’s Best), World’s Greatest Villains (produced by Disturbed’s John Moyer) and Georgia favorites, Sunbreak.
The festival will also feature special performances from The Campfire Allstars, with guest appearances from a variety of musicians including: Carly Smithson (We are the Fallen / American Idol), Dameon Aranda (Aranda), Gabe Aranda (Aranda), Harley Hess (Night Ranger / Foreigner / Little River Band), Joey Duenas (The Bvtch3r / Unloco), John Tempesta (The Cult), Johnny Hetherington (Art of Dying), Miles McPherson (former Paramore / Kelly Clarkson), Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (Art Of Anarchy/ex-Guns ‘N Roses), Sameer Bhattacharya (Flyleaf), Tyson Leslie and many surprise guests.
John Tempesta of The Cult said, “It’s going to be a big rock ‘n’ roll family reunion at the Throwdown! I can’t wait to take the stage with The Campfire Allstars and hang with everyone again!”
Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (Art Of Anarchy/ex-Guns N’ Roses) exclaimed, “I'm sooooo excited to be joining The Campfire Allstars at the Throwdown!! Looking forward to seeing the great bands, jamming with old friends, and hanging with you all! See you there!!”
“Henry David Thoreau said, ‘The fire is the main comfort of the camp, whether in summer or winter.’ That’s us, The Campfire Allstars! We’re the fire,” said Sameer Bhattacharya of Flyleaf. “See you at Throwdown At The Campground.”
Throwdown At The Campground will celebrate two special moments: the 25th anniversary of Buckcherry’s debut album, which featured their hit single “Lit Up,” as well as the 20th anniversary of Nonpoint’s Recoil album, with their popular version of the Phil Collins classic “In The Air Tonight.”
