VIP TICKET PRICES INCREASE MARCH 9
Various onsite sponsor activities and an interactive art installation with graffiti artist RISK have been announced for the fifth annual Monster Energy Welcome To Rockville, April 25 & 26 at Jacksonville, Florida’s scenic Metropolitan Park along the St. Johns River. In addition, more details have been confirmed for the new Monster Energy Welcome To Rockville Tequila World.
Florida’s biggest rock festival kicks off the World’s Loudest Month festival series and features music
on multiple stages, band autograph signings, interactive experiences, a
Monster Energy viewing area with beverage sampling, and a variety of
food and beverage options, including local gourmet food trucks and the
debut of the new Monster Energy Welcome To Rockville Tequila World.
The new Monster Energy Welcome To Rockville Tequila World,
with a Mexican fiesta theme, will feature a wide range of tequilas,
extreme margaritas, gourmet tacos, mixologists and more. The expanded
list of tequilas that will be offered in the Monster Energy Welcome To Rockville Tequila World is as follows: Cabo Wabo, Corazon, Espolon,
El Jimador, Lunazul, Margaritaville, Monte Alban, Pura Vida, Siete
Leguas, and more to be announced. Gourmet tacos will be provided by TacoLu Baja Mexicana. Admission to this area is free and open to those 21 and up.
Metalachi—the world’s first and only heavy metal mariachi band (www.metalachi.com)—will keep the party rolling with three performances on the Tequila World stage each day. Check out this hilarious behind-the-scenes video clip with Metalachi as they get the news about playing the festival: http://youtu.be/XSWUcaJlD0E.
Also new in 2015 is the RISK interactive graffiti art installation. Kelly Graval, the multi-talented fine artist, illustrator, and graffiti artist known as RISK (www.riskrock.com),
will be curating an interactive art exhibit to be displayed on site.
The exhibit will showcase multiple live demonstrations by RISK and will allow festival attendees the chance to interact and add to the exhibit. RISK has been synonymous with the Los Angeles art community for decades. With a career spanning 30 years, RISK
has solidified his place in the history books as a world-renowned
graffiti legend. He has come a long way since he pioneered the painting
of freeway overpasses, signs and billboards, dubbed “heavens.” Although RISK
loves aerosol art, he sees it as merely just one genre in his life’s
work. From his days as a student at the USC School of Fine Arts to
gallery and museum showings around the world, RISK has transformed from a street artist to a rising star in the contemporary art world. Check out a video of RISK in action here: http://youtu.be/0St2Rt9xAN4.
