The first-ever Island Rhodes Music Festival debuts at Centreville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket, Rhode Island this August! Taking over the late summer weekend of Saturday, August 15 and Sunday, August 16, the reggae-focused music festival brings a new chapter of festival beats to New England.
“New England has always supported this music at a high level,” says Dave Niedbalski of Grand Rising Curations. “Centreville Bank Stadium gave us a unique opportunity — especially with its riverfront setting and built-in premium experiences — to create something the market is craving and that feels connected to the community.”
The two-day music festival is slated to transform the state-of-the-art waterfront venue into a vibrant celebration of live music and culture immediately becoming New England’s largest reggae-centric festival.
“Island Rhodes Festival to Centreville Bank Stadium as our first-ever music event is a defining milestone in the story of our venue and for Rhode Island,” said Paul Byrne, General Manager of Centreville Bank Stadium. “From the start, our vision has been to create a world-class destination for live sports and entertainment in the Ocean State and launching with a festival of this scale sets an exciting tone for everything we’re building here moving forward.”
