The need to move Rockville back to earlier in the calendar year like it was when it was held in Jax. Having it in the rainy season here in FL when everyone knows it's gonna start raining everyday at 5pm come May-Aug is just poor planning.
People complained because nobody is hurt. But when somebody does get hurt they’ll complain that the festival didn’t shut down. Human beings don’t know what they want. The festival made the right decision for safety reasons! 🙂
Sorry for what happened but I'm glad you were pretty positive about the experience and didn't just blame organizers out of the blue.Hope you will get to see your favorite artists and bands next time.Keep up the amazing work.
I remember Pukkelpop festival in Belgium years ago where people died with a storm that came out of nowhere ... Skunk Anansie was playing when hell broke loose... And there was also a festival in Germany that had the same problem.. Festival organisors did the best and stopped everything!!! can't blame them
I feel like I'm the only person saying this but give the fans who were there (tickets scanned) for the two days that headliners were canceled a 1 or 2 day voucher for next year or another Rock festival by the same organizers. We met people who flew from all across the country to come to this and spent a lot of money. That's the least they could do.
You know what's weird about that normally they have it at the end of April beginning of May so I don't know why they changed it to the middle of May I'm assuming they should move it back to February or March where it's cooler weather and not as high of a chance of rain
@@josephlalock8378 how do I get it it's busy but there's got to be a different time if they can do it because what would happen if we go next year and the same thing happens people are going to eventually stopped wanting to go
I mean what do you expect it rains during this time of the year in Florida I'm kind of shocked that you didn't have it there typical end of April beginning of May. There's a lot of people that will not return next year but they don't realize blueridgerockfest will had some negativity that happened then in 2018 it flooded out at Louder Than Life so this is not the first Festival to get it crapped on. But at the end of the day he will need to realize its mother nature not the promoter
This festival should be held in a different time of the year. When last year's festival was held in November, there were no issues with weather. May - September are the worst months to have an outdoor festival because of constant and very unpredictable weather. Also, the heat in Florida is horrible during those months. I think having it October - November would be best and would help make it smoother. Just makes it less chances of Increment weather and weather cancellations. Also would make all the people paying these high prices feel better about paying them.
This was almost exactly like Epicenter 2019 in Rockingham. Second day we got run off to our cars and people had to cut fences down to get out at 2 AM. We had more warning at DWP Epicenter, at least we could get to our cars before the lightning. Carolina Rebellion and Epicenter Fest has disrupted numerous May shows… it’s part of the risk you take. We’ve missed Tool, Pearl Jam and Metallica during DWP festivals. At least no one died… and that’s what DWP wants.
Epic video. I snuck in. Vlog almost done being edited. Stay tuned “Sneaking into Rockville” Sad the bands got rained out but to be fair I was getting paid to be there. Also made the best of it and went out and about “downtown” Regardless, I made an epic vlog. All while tent camping for free haha. Cheers guys. 🙏🏽
I'd say for the fans that came to Rockville this year they will offer a discount for next year sorta like they did when metalica cancelled a few years back
It's Florida, that's like being upset in Min. for things being shutdown from a snow storm. Definitely have had shows shut down from bad weather it sucks. I totally understand; especially how much tickets are and the world had been shut down. Shit happens. Being pissed at the venue isn't going to change the weather.
Of course the promoters can’t control the weather. However, they can control when the festival takes place. They should do these in early December or March at the latest. Since they did the festival last year in November they could have waited this year till the first week of December (they claimed no one would insured them during hurricane season, which ends in November). Looks like they wanted to make quick money and decided to celebrate it 6 months after the previous one. It was my last time at an outdoor festival. I’ll be spending my money traveling to cool places from now on.
I'm only asking out of curiosity cuz I truly wouldn't know do you think the festival was indoors would they cancel I'm just asking the question out of curiosity for my opinion I don't think they would have unless it was something truly severe.
I went Sunday and it was amazing, Smashing Pumpkins, Spiritbox, NIN were amazing, sounded so good. I also purchased the ticket insurance for $4 extra, They SHOULD get a full refund for cancellation, anyone know if they did?
The show MUST go on! They COULD have played a hour or two later when it cleared. That’s not going to kill anyone, People spent a fuck ton of money to rent out giant race track for 4 days. Fuck the curfew and you can’t even hear much from the parking lot. Don’t need mommy and daddy “authorities” to control every aspect of our lives
And oh yeah had a great time I did love it and it could have been washing nobody died nobody got killed thank you Rockville and I will come again and can't help the rain but we can make a building
Outdoor festival in the end of may in Florida! They knew and made that money. Do right buy the fans that bought a 4 day pass and only got a 1.5 day show. You said every detail by Danny and company but come on they seen the weather days out
This is why concerts should be indoors, never liked these big festivals outside. You get dehydrated, sunburned, and ultimately the sound is never as good outside. Plus you have to deal with the weather. I would be pissed if I traveled down there, paid for travel, hotel, gas, concert tickets, and every night cancelled. Again public safety is important I agree with the call, but we really should get away from these big outside festivals. Seems there is always an issue and usually the sound does suck.
@@RockFeed I will agree with that as far as the producers and the people that put on the show but I don't agree with it not being someone of a cash grab when you're charging 40 $50 for a t-shirt when you're charging 10 to $15 for a 12 oz pop or water $16 parking camping etc etc etc there is Cash grab examples in these big festivals that's how they make their money buying the ticket price is a small part of what people spend at these concerts and they know that so they can name and make their price that's what I'm saying about the cash grab, not about the producers not about the bands itself they're the ones that usually get screwed too in this case the weather screwed everybody but all those little side stands selling whatever they selling they definitely got a good chunk regardless
Can’t blame them. Crowd safety comes before crowd enjoyment. Especially when it comes to weather.
Brent Smith is such a cool guy. If Travis Scott were up there, he would’ve kept the show going until the stage burned down.
Scott would consider ten people killed by lightning an acceptable loss!!

*In 100% complete agreement w/that statement.*
According to the CEO, May is the earliest the track is available at the beginning of the year.
I agree as well but insurance is all but impossible financially to obtain during hurricane season. That includes November…
That lightning looked frightening

That was a good choice cause there was lightning and safety comes first 👊🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Well that stinks - I guess that was expected since it's end of May going into summer and being in Florida where it rains consistently.
You know what's weird about that normally they have it at the end of April beginning of May so I don't know why they changed it to the middle of May I'm assuming they should move it back to February or March where it's cooler weather and not as high of a chance of rain
@@treverpitts feb and march are speed week and bike week in daytona. the speedway is actually used for what it's built for.
@@josephlalock8378 how do I get it it's busy but there's got to be a different time if they can do it because what would happen if we go next year and the same thing happens people are going to eventually stopped wanting to go
I was there all 4 days and it was my first music festival. Sucked we missed out on some good bands.
Don't forget Blue Ridge Rock Festival in September. Lineup is pretty wild.
I’ll be looking for you this year!

Ya wow. I would be super bummed 🙁 🌧

Can't wait to see you in louder than life 22

Wow that was crazy
NIN was my first concert when Bowie took them on tour GREAT first concert
Brian, come to Aftershock, it never rains over here🤣
I was there and that definitely pissed me off but I still had fun.

Dude did you drive home soaked 😂🤣
yes lol

Sorry, that’s not the way the world works.
@@Trainy2 Put your mask on, take your boosters 🐑😷
@@SerpentStar_ You think all the bands and everyone are just going to sit around and wait to see if it gets better idiot? It's not all about you.
Yeah and then break curfew and never be allowed back. You're just brilliant.
its an act of nature. cant blame anyone.
And oh yeah had a great time I did love it and it could have been washing nobody died nobody got killed thank you Rockville and I will come again and can't help the rain but we can make a building
No matter what they made the right choice, if someone got struck it would have been tragic
*At **1:10**, I hear a 'Lets Go Brandon'. HELL YEAH! FJB!*
Saw a little bit of shine down at least before they code redded us
Outdoor festival in the end of may in Florida! They knew and made that money. Do right buy the fans that bought a 4 day pass and only got a 1.5 day show. You said every detail by Danny and company but come on they seen the weather days out
They need to move it back to Jacksonville

Weather is always shit in Florida
To close is out. What does that mean. I'll write it and I'll DO IT LIVE
Lightning can't strike everyone
How can you say the food was fairly priced at $13 for 1 slice of pizza
Global warming? because it rained in Daytona. 🤣
You missed a festival. Riot Fest.
This is exactly why I don’t go to these outdoor festivals.
Yeah.....global warming is a myth. Lmao. It's just getting started.
I was sad I couldn’t go to this cause I have young kids now but I guess it wasn’t that big of a loss..
My brother was pointing the middle finger at the screen
damn nature you scary!
Imagine hey dude go and tell 100k ppl to go away.
What a sham, what a cash grab, been to many festival like concerts to say, It's not worth the dime or time 💯🤷
What an asinine take
@@A7X31610 🤣🤣🤷assinine you mean? Obviously spell check didn't work for you nor did the money you probably spent at this concert
Ya I hate it when concerts managers can't control the weather...
Not a cash grab in the least. DWP are good people. Independent company that isn't like the gigantic multi billion dollar concert producers.
@@RockFeed I will agree with that as far as the producers and the people that put on the show but I don't agree with it not being someone of a cash grab when you're charging 40 $50 for a t-shirt when you're charging 10 to $15 for a 12 oz pop or water $16 parking camping etc etc etc there is Cash grab examples in these big festivals that's how they make their money buying the ticket price is a small part of what people spend at these concerts and they know that so they can name and make their price that's what I'm saying about the cash grab, not about the producers not about the bands itself they're the ones that usually get screwed too in this case the weather screwed everybody but all those little side stands selling whatever they selling they definitely got a good chunk regardless
This sucks. Florida really is the best tho.
Has anyone realized how bad the weather has been getting?
Don't Wanna play in Florida
The people in Rockville’s IG comments calling it Fyre Fest were so ridiculous. Made me really mad.
Satan has no power to control the weather just saying
Thanks for checking on this
Those clothes still wet?
