This week’s featured events:
This week is all about the rock. Come to Landroval this weekend for Rockfest September 17th-18th and the Rockfest Revisted after party on the evening of the 18th. It all goes down at the Bree Festival Stage.
RockFest starts at noon EDT on Saturday the 17th and the music keeps going until 3am. On the 18th it all gets underway at 11am and runs until 5pm.
If you still haven’t had enough, stay put for an after party featuring four more great bands.
The Symphony of Light comes to Landroval on Bilbo’s Birthday, September 22nd. A procession from Brandywine Bridge to the rock below Rivendell’s Last Homely House starts at 9pm (told you this week is all about the rock!). Over 10,000 fireworks will be launched starting no earlier than 10pm, timed to match up with in-game night. A concert from some of Landroval’s best musicians will start at 10pm no matter what. There will be an open mic after party in the Hall of Fire.
Please note that some bands will not hold their regular weekly concerts due to this festival, but they have been kept on the schedule unless we were informed otherwise. The Department of Harmony and Song will hold their monthly concert next week.
All events are listed in Eastern Daylight Time (-4 GMT)/server time, but an additional time zone is listed for EU server events. You may add events or post corrections in the comments section, but the fastest and best way to get it on this page is to submit a form. I’m always open to feedback and suggestions, both here and through the submissions form, so let me know if there’s something we should feature. Thanks for reading!
