Is it an outdoor sports festival with a bit of music or is a music festival with outdoor sports taking place all around. There’s no need to decide, just go with it and accept that it’s an excellent excuse to spend the day and good portion of the evening down on Brown’s Island and at Historic Tredegar.

Today we get to see which acts will be taking the stage and rocking all the rock climbers.

Dominion Energy Riverrock announced today the full list of music acts performing at this year’s festival. On Friday, May 18th, The Marcus King Band will take the stage at 8:00 p.m.

Touring in support of the newly-released ‘One Drop of Truth,’ their sixth studio album, The Wood Brothers relied on artistic expression to produce one of their most dynamic recordings yet. The trio, made up of brothers Oliver and Chris Wood, along with Jano Rix, put faith in themselves and ultimately their audience by writing and recording a collection of songs that is honest and pure. After touring extensively in support of the 2015 album ‘Paradise,’ the band, based in Nashville, took a fresh approach to recording and mixing on ‘One Drop of Truth,’ resulting in a deep wellspring of sounds, styles, and influences.

Led by 21-year-old Marcus King, The Marcus King Band is quickly becoming one of the country’s most sought-after live acts. King shows his musical ability throughout ‘The Marcus King Band,’ his second full-length album, and the fiery blend of American roots music showcases his gorgeous vocals, soaring guitar work, and heartfelt songwriting that blends perfectly with his group of masterful musicians. The Marcus King Band features Jack Ryan on drums and percussion, Stephen Campbell on bass, Dean Mitchell on saxophone, and Justin Johnson on trumpet, trombone, and backing vocals, and the band’s energy is never more evident than during its blazing live shows.
