GO Fest Music Stage is Bigger Than Ever

You may know the Roanoke GO Outside Festival for all the great gear, activities and demos, but did you know it is a music destination as well?

GO Fest is partnering with Across the Way Productions, the music minds behind FloydFest, to bring some stellar sounds to the three-day festival this year, including Saturday headliner Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe (and this show is free).

The tunes will kick off on the Cox Music Stage Friday, Oct. 14, with Uncle John and Friends. And the Saturday lineup is just as impressive with Urban Soil, Rebekah Todd and The Odyssey, Dale and the Z Dubs and Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe.

Like your music unplugged? You can find that too on the 101.5 The Valley’s Music Place Acoustic Stage. The music will feature local favorites all day Saturday and Sunday.

Don’t miss your favorite acts with show times in the music schedule.

And make sure to head over to the ENO Lotus Lounge for the biggest disco party of the year … without any sound. A DJ will be spinning tunes that only those wearing the wireless headphones can hear. People walking by the tent won’t hear the music … but they’ll see your moves.

New this year is a VIP music option as well for those that want the true roadie experience. Rub elbows with Go Fest Music Artists thanks to Across the Way Productions and IHeartMedia (your favorite radio stations in town) before they hit the Cox Music stage. The package also includes access to exclusive Parkway Brewing taps in the VIP lounge, private porta-potties, happy hour before the Karl Denson show and a swag bag with goodies and beer tickets.

Roanoke GO Outside Festival

GO Fest is designed so you can get outside and get active with plenty of gear to try, demos, races, and camping. There will be more food and local craft brews than you can eat and drink in three days. And it’s still free to get in.
