After months of piecemeal reveals, the Blue Ridge Rock Festival was expected to reveal the full lineup for their 2023 music weekend, but after noting on their social media an 11AM ET reveal, no info was immediately provided and a message on the festival’s Instagram Stories noted “a couple of very last minute curveballs thrown at us” as the reason for the delay.
That said, a majority of the lineup had already been revealed in recent months. The event returns to the Virginia International Raceway the weekend of Sept. 7-10, with some major names expected to be added as soon organizers “get everything perfected right for you.”
