Returning for its third annual year, the 1980s rock and roll tribute festival, Rock the Lake, is back in Lake George for another three days of live music, entertainment, drinks and fun. The festival will feature over a dozen performers hitting the stage between August 9-11 in Charles R. Wood Park.
With 2024 marking Rock the Lake’s third straight year, the festival is becoming one of the state’s premier 1980s rock and roll tribute experiences. This year’s tribute bands cover all the classics, from AC/DC to The Eagles to Tom Petty.
Rock the Lake’s first year brought in over 800 attendees, and last year’s pulled in more than 1100. Organizers are projecting this year’s festival to double or even triple these numbers.
The festival will be held at The Festival Commons in Charles R. Wood Park, right next to Lake George. Alongside the live music, food and drink vendors will be available around the park.
Friday’s lineup will focus on local talent like Pink Floyd tribute band Run Rabbit Run and KISS tribute band Kisstory. Saturday will bring in more nationally touring acts like TRIXTER, Anthony Corder, the voice of TORA TORA, and Ted Poley, the lead singer of DANGER DANGER. Sunday’s lineup will return to more local artists, like Harmony Rocks, South Bound Renegade, and Across the Pond.
A tent will be onsite with tables and chairs for everyone’s use, which might come in handy in the case of rain. The event is rain or shine.
A large VIP tent will also be available for VIP ticket holders only, with tables and chairs, access to a private bar for quick drinks, and front-of-stage access, along with a meet and greet with the bands. Saturday’s VIP tent will host Anthony Corder, the voice of Tora Tora, and acoustic solo performances between sets.
