Rock N’ Derby for a Smashing Good Summer



What's more hardcore than metal on metal?  Crushing metal, both literally and figuratively, can be found by heading up towards Albany this summer for the Rock N’ Derby, held May 20-22 at the fairgrounds in Schaghticoke, NY.

Cars will be smashing into each other, as bands thrash on stage.  With three days of concerts and demolition derbies, they will be demolishing everything from cars designed in the themes of performing artists, to short buses, tractors, and more.  Plus, derby winners will be taking home $10,000.
 Five Finger Death Punch


Bodies slime against bodies, as people can smash into each other in mosh pits while bands like Five Finger Death Punch, Shinedown, Halestorm, Megadeth, Sixx: A.M., Lamb Of God, Clutch, Anthrax, Ghost, Wolfmother, Sevendust, Dokken, Trivium, Memphis May Fire, We Came As Romans, Scott Stapp, Pop Evil, Thy Art Is Murder, Wild Throne, and Currents play.  More bands are being added to the bill; plus, there will be pre- and post-concerts for the event.

For more intense contact, human-on-human collisions will thunder with mud ridden wrestling matches all weekend long. With Battle Royales, Tag Team, and State Pro Championship matches, expect to witness history in the making. Wrestling matches will be featured all weekend in the Wrestlin' Shack.
