Festival Fever: Rock the Resort, 4/9-11/10

It’s the second annual Rock the Resort festival at the Hudson Valley Resort and Spa in Kerhonkson, and it’s jam-packed with three days of jam bands, funk, rock, hip-hop, jazz and more. The fest takes place on Friday-Sunday, April 9-11, and don’t expect to get much sleep ’cause the music rumbles along all night long.

The fest is indoors on two stages featuring such headliners as Soulive, KRS-One, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Particle and Jim Weider’s Project Percolator, to name just a few.

Tickets are currently available at early-bird prices – $34 per day on Friday and Sunday; $39 for Saturday; or $99 for the whole weekend-long shebang. Students at select area high schools and colleges can purchase tickets at half price. Children 12 and under are free.
