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

Yeah Cin a lot of people leave Friday and Saturday. Hell a lot of these people have to drive clear across the country. I am hoping we catch some long stands of bikes on Friday in the hills. I love the sound of thunder threw the hills. Best sound in the world.
And yeah my guess would be that gnr is going to put on a stripped down show. This stage won't be that big. Unless they are bringing in there own stage, but it doesn't sound like it. First time seeing Dj! I can't wait.

Maybe less of a crowd but still huge.  For all the things that could go wrong here, I'm glad we're going to be with the bikers.  We're safe with them.

I think the ride to the park is on Saturday.

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. 

trainwreck anyone

We've got days of concerts before this one, they'll work it out.  And in the words of the leader of the band:  We'll muddel through.  It's going to be great (pray hard and long  ).

there are large groups that go threw the park everyday and we will only be in the park in the morning Friday then up the back roads.

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

 

Rapid City is very close.  City of 60K or more.

[faldor]

On a semi-related note.  I noticed on the Travel Channel this weekend they had a marathon of Live At Sturgis shows from previous years.  Not to say they'll do one with GNR, but one could hope.

That numbers pretty accurate. There are TONS of campgrounds out there, which is where I'll be all week. Now keep in mind, those numbers aren't for the concert. I expect somewhere in the neighborhood of 30k on any given night of the concert.

I warned you guys. You need to call and book something. And you will pay a lot and you may have to stay an hour away. Go too the offical Sturgis site for camping info. I think they have links that you can book at. Don't wait tell you get there for hotel, camping or car rental. You will probably be screwed. Trust me  I have been out there for the Rally many times. Everything books up.

Only 10 Days...

[cineater]

I don't know about this venue    They're on schedule to get the stage up in time but it's on top of a landfill and they have been kind of trash compacting it.  I don't know if you've seen Paint Your Wagon but "sink into the pit" is coming to mind!  It's going to be an adventure for all of us.

[ChiDem2010]

I'm not even going to this show but I really feel anticipation for it for some reason. It seems like this is a huge thing for Sturgis, for the festival and for GnR. I think out of any recent show I'm looking forward for this one.
