Behind the scenes, ROCKSTALGIA has been growing into something much bigger than a festival.
What started with one summer weekend has become a year-round music platform built around live music, artist opportunities, community and connection.
The festival is still a huge part of who we are, but it’s now one piece of a much bigger picture. ROCKSTALGIA Music is about artists, audiences, venues and communities coming together to keep live music thriving.
For artists, we want ROCKSTALGIA to be more than another place to play. We’re creating opportunities to perform, be discovered, build an audience, connect with other musicians and move onto bigger stages through events like Backstage Local, MainStage Challenge, She Rocks and our flagship ROCKSTALGIA Music Festival.
For the music community, ROCKSTALGIA is a place to discover talent, celebrate the music we love, support local artists and come together through live music all year long.
