A couple weeks ago we told you about a cool local music festival taking place in Bamberton called "Rock of the Woods". Weeks have passed since then, major artists were announced (Junior Boys, OMG!) and everything was coming together nicely... was coming together nicely. Dave Bain, the festival organizer and owner of Surge Ahead, ran into a little road block a mere 2 weeks from the festival's date. The Cowichan Valley Regional District denied Rock of the Woods its liquor license! After numerous phone calls and verbal agreements the CVRD pulled the rug out from this spectacular event.
But wait! All is not lost! Rock of the Woods is born anew, yanked from the proverbial fire and is now shaping up to be even more spectacular than before. Sweet serendipity!
Rock of the Woods is now Rock of the Hood and is taking over Victoria (no road trip required) Aug 20th, 21st, and 22nd. Wristbands are $45 for all three days and tickets for the individual shows will be available at the door if you only want to go to one show.
