Welcome To Rockville is less than two months away now and for those of you that will be attending the two day festival at Metropolitan Park in Jacksonville, FL, some details of the other attractions that will be found at the gathering have surfaced. The first of which is the brand new Monster Energy Welcome To Rockville Tequila World.

Tequila World, which will sport a Mexican fiesta theme, will feature a variety of tequilas and margaritas crafted by mixologists. Patrons of legal drinking age will be able to enjoy from a number of tequila brands including: Sammy Hagar founded Cabo Wabo, Corazon, Espolon, El Jimador, Lunazul, Margaritaville, Monte Alban, ZZ Top frontman Billy Gibbons’ own Pura Vida, Siete Leguas, and much more. Gourmet tacos will be provided by TacoLu Baha Mexican. Tequila World will also include a stage of its own that will feature premiere heavy metal mariachi act Metalachi, who will be performing 3 sets PER DAY at the festival on the Tequila World Stage. Below is a video of the band as they received the news about playing at the festival.

This year’s installation of the weekend festival also brings for the first time an interactive graffiti art installation by artist Kelly Graval, also known as RISK.

RISK

RISK will be curating an interactive art exhibit to be displayed on site. The exhibit will showcase multiple live demonstrations by RISK and will allow festival attendees the chance to interact and add to the exhibit. RISK has been synonymous with the Los Angeles art community for decades. With a career spanning 30 years, RISK has solidified his place in the history books as a world-renowned graffiti legend. He has come a long way since he pioneered the painting of freeway overpasses, signs and billboards, dubbed “heavens.” Although RISK loves aerosol art, he sees it as merely just one genre in his life’s work. From his days as a student at the USC School of Fine Arts to gallery and museum showings around the world, RISK has transformed from a street artist to a rising star in the contemporary art world. Check out a video of RISK in action below:
