Guns N' Roses to headline Rock 'N Rev Festival in Sturgis, SD on August 13, 2010

[HBK]

I'm not finding any "official" statistics, but it seems attendance to the Sturgis rally was estimated to be upwards of 400,000 last year - some websites are estimating 500 - 700K for this year's 70th anniversary.  Wow!!

I'll be there!   

and sturgis is a town of about 5500

for all those travelling to this, good luck w/ hotel accomodations

The Sturgis Chainsaw Massacre, GN`R Are Back

Here's a list of all the music events for the week if anyone wants to check out anything else while they're there. Rock N' Rev is just the tip of the iceberg as far as music goes in Sturgis!! (But of course it'll be the whole iceberg on Friday)

These type of shows are good for the band since they'll be more than just hardcore GNR fans there. Many who don't know anything about the new GNR will get to see just how good they are.

Exactly.

And some see that as a bad thing.

These types of events are never a bad thing for a band, to get exposure like this to average people is huge.  Not to mentions this event is massive everyone will hear about this one, that is a very smart venture for the Guns camp.

I just think they wanted to go and what better way to attend then to work it with all the VIP treatment.

does anyone have a seating chart or info on vip packs?

[cotis]

Check the festival's official website, all the information can be found there!

[xxgunsxx]

cant find a chart, i am interested in seating for vip.

[cineater]

I think they are still building the venue.

[willow]

there won't be a seating chart. I am guessing. It's going to be a stage in the middle of a field. It will be general admit for the whole show.
BY THE WAY CINEATER! OUR TICKETS ARRIVED TODAY!!!!

[cineater]

YEAH!!!!!  When have we not had a great time in the middle of some farmer's field listening to some rock bands?

Work hasn't approved my vacation.  I'm afraid I may have to call in sick.  Anybody got the name of a good illness I can use besides I've covered so much work around here that if you can't give me a couple of days off when I've given you 3 weeks notice I'm going to be so pissed I may have to kill a few of you?

[willow]

Yeah if anyone diserves some time off its you!!!

You could say that you have  massive sinus infection with severe dizziness, nausea and vomiting and migraine type headaches. Just be careful, calling in sick when vacations are not approved always looks a little fishy to managers. Food poisioning is another good one, along with pulled muscles in your neck or back. Sometimes just being honest works, just say you have an important out of town event that is a once in a lifetime opportunity and you're taking a few personal days.

Tell ;em you've got a dose of Bumblefoot...

[GnR-NOW]

Any chance of this being broadcasted over the internet kind of like the concert 4 years ago from Cali ?

[cineater]

Off the top of my head, one would ask why?  The main event is already way over crowded, don't need the publicity.  The venue is going to be lucky to be ready, let alone be ready to be showed off as a permanent facility.  I'm betting they are making due with what sound equipment they can get in there so we probably won't be giving that high marks. 

Pray for this guy in charge of this. 

[Gunsguy]

I heard that Godsmack are filming for a dvd there, sp either partially there or the whole set not sure

[cineater]

This is my first time at this motorcycle event but I suspect a lot of people will ride out on Saturday morning, they usually do so they can be to work on Monday.  I'm thinking the Friday night slot at 10:30 could be a little less crowded then some of the other shows.  I could be totally wrong about that too.

A buddy and I are going to try and drive back 16 hours after the show. We'll hit a McD's, refuel and go as far as we can back to STL.

Think the cyclists will be ok w/ a Corolla w/ outta state plates driving around town?
