Festival producer Danny Wimmer explains, "The creation of the 'Epicenter of rock n' roll' in the heart of North Carolina gives us the ability to expand on the festival experience with enhanced camping amenities, nighttime entertainment with no curfew, and expanded food and beverage offerings, all highlighted by a massive music lineup covering the spectrum of rock, metal and alternative rock music. There's always a next level to strive for — and after 8 great years of Carolina Rebellion, Epicenter is that next level."

Danny Wimmer Presents CEO Danny Hayes adds, "In a project being led by the new owners of the Rockingham Speedway (the Rock), together with Richmond County, Rockingham Dragway and the other local land owners, we are working to develop a first class destination festival site. We are grateful to the Rock's Dan Lovenheim and Richmond County Manager Bryan Land for spearheading this move and look forward to unveiling the lineup. Trust me, it's worth the wait."

The music lineup for Epicenter and further details will be revealed on Monday, December 10 at 9:00 AM Eastern Time.
