Various onsite sponsor activities and an interactive art
installation with graffiti artist RISK have been announced for the
fifth annual Monster Energy Welcome To Rockville, April 25
& 26 at Jacksonville, Florida's scenic Metropolitan Park along the St.
Johns River. In addition, more details have been confirmed for the new
Monster Energy Welcome To Rockville Tequila World.
Florida's biggest rock festival kicks off the World’s
Loudest Month festival series and features music on multiple stages, band autograph signings,
interactive experiences, a Monster Energy viewing area with beverage sampling,
and a variety of food and beverage options, including local gourmet food trucks
and the debut of the new Monster Energy Welcome To Rockville Tequila
World.
The new Monster Energy Welcome To Rockville Tequila World, with a Mexican fiesta theme, will feature a wide range of tequilas, extreme margaritas, gourmet tacos, mixologists and more. The expanded list of tequilas that will be offered in the Monster Energy Welcome To Rockville Tequila World is as follows: Cabo Wabo, Corazon, Espolon, El Jimador, Lunazul, Margaritaville, Monte Alban, Pura Vida, Siete Leguas, and more to be announced. Gourmet tacos will be provided by TacoLu Baja Mexicana. Admission to this area is free and open to those 21 and up.
Metalachi--the
world’s first and only heavy metal mariachi band--will keep the
party rolling with three performances on the Tequila World stage each
day. Check out this hilarious behind-the-scenes video clip with Metalachi

Also
new in 2015 is the RISK interactive graffiti art installation. Kelly
Graval, the multi-talented fine artist, illustrator, and graffiti artist
known as 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 here:
