Asheville Rock is an all day, all ages, all rock & roll event being
held at Nashwa (next to Hookah Joe’s, beneath Hairspray) on Saturday
October 4th 2008. The event will showcase some of Asheville’s best
rock bands varying from punk, metal, garage, and indie. We will be
barricading the parking lot in order to have an outdoor section to the
festival where there will be the outdoor stage, several food vendors,
Sponsor tables, some games, and maybe a clever way for fans to
interact with the bands.
The indoor stage will be inside the new Nashwa venue which is opening
in August and has a full featured sound system, DJ area, dance floor,
and light system - not to mention a unique decor with a slightly
Egyptian/Roman theme.
Asheville Rock celebrates the past, present and future of the
Asheville rock music scene. Our mission is to raise awareness and
appreciation of the local rock music here in Asheville NC and
surrounding communities, as well as provide a outlet for bands
interact to express their art amongst their peers. The festival will
also provide an affordable, all day, all ages entertainment
alternative for the Asheville area.
