SLP Concerts and GameLoud- the duo that consistently brings music fans widely-popular festival events such as the Bamboozle, Skate And Surf Festival, and Food Truck & Rock Carnival - recently announced initial details regarding the inaugural ROCK'N DERBY, taking place May 20-22, 2016 at the 35+ acre Schaghticoke Fairgrounds in Schaghticoke, NY (69 Stillwater Bridge Rd., 12154), just minutes outside of Albany, NY and positioned within driving distance from New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Montreal, and more. This isn't just a festival, this is a three-day, 24 hour camping, demolition derby concert experience!

Today, ROCK'N DERBY is pleased to announce the addition of several more of the greatest names in hard rock and heavy metal to the performance line-up, in addition to news about the main event - demolition derby cars and massive winner prizes!

The electrifying ROCK'N DERBY Demolition Derbies have upped the ante with HUGE cash prizes since the original event announcement. So, what does that mean to you? ROCK'N DERBY doesn't just vow to bring back the fun of classic derbies in full force - they want YOU join in the entertainment! That's right - as an attendee, you can sign up to compete in real demolition derbies against your friends or even performing bands. Together, fans (first-timers or die hard hobbyists) and bands can join the fun and compete against one another.

Competing derby vehicles will include everything from cars to short buses! Teams/interested parties can register to enter their car at $40 per entry until April 1st (on April 1st, the price goes up to $50 and closes May 13th) and paint and supplies will be provided to each team and derby fans to decorate their car on Friday night for the opening ceremony.
