The Montebello Rock team is happy to announce a real time virtual simulation edition of Rockfest on the usual dates of the event: June 19-21, 2020. This unique experience will be the first of its kind, a world exclusive.
Using thousands of unreleased hours of footage accumulated for nearly 15 years as well as new filming, this immersive and innovative project will offer festival-goers the chance to relive in real time the unique and chaotic experience of the legendary event : the road trip to Montebello, the arrival at the campground, the party in the small town and the music. Taking place 24 hours a day from the Friday to the Sunday, this virtual edition will feature a total of 50 hours of exclusive content.

Both a nostalgia trip for Rockfest regulars and a discovery for those who never got to attend the festival, the virtual edition developed with thepointofsale.com will let fans dive into the renowned party vibe of Montebello and get a glimpse of dozens of performances. Over the years, the festival has presented artists such as System of a Down, Blink-182, Rammstein, Linkin Park, Motley Crue, The Offspring, Deftones, Korn, Limp Bizkit, NOFX, Pennywise, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie and hundreds more.
“While respecting social distancing measures, festival-goers can invite their event buddies in their backyard, bring out the TV, the BBQ, tents and beer! This will be our way of celebrating together this year, while also supporting the festival so we can come back stronger in 2021.” -Alex Martel, founder
