There is perhaps nothing more iconic of the rad era than the DMC DeLorean!

Back in May 2021, the The Historic Vehicle Association (HVA) announced the newest car to hitch its National Historic Vehicle Register, an inventory and collection of documentation of historically significant automobiles. which car is that the instantly recognizable DeLorean DMC-12 time machine from the well-known sci-fi movie “Back to the Future”. 

Because of Covid, our inaugural event was delayed by more than a year, so all of these things: The HVA designation, the DeLorean "screaming" and 80's & 90s vibe and us getting "back the the future" is why we are featuring special DeLorean display smack dab in the center of Rock N Rad 2021! 

If you know of someone who needs to bring their DeLorean, send them this registration link!

Grody Coronavirus Bags the 2020 Rock N Rad Car Show & Concert until 2021

5/19/2020

 
Rock N Rad Hartwood Covid 19 Coronavirus Cancelled 2020
COVID-19 NOTICE:  Due to the uncertainty of the pandemic and the planning delays caused by it, we are going to postpone the inaugural #ROckNRad show until 2021.

We hope you understand that there are many moving parts to make the event happen that require sponsors, vendors, and entertainment to arrange transport, travel, hotels, equipment rental and set up.  We're going to put everything on hold until things settle down, we can lock down all the plans, and restrictions have been lifted for the sponsors to travel here.  

Special note to Paid Sponsors
​and Paid Participants

If we have not yet contact you as sponsor, of for any participants that have signed up, we will be contacting you shortly to talk about options:

For Sponsors: 
We can roll over your sponsorship right into 2021 and you get a free year of advertising on the website or we can refund your money.

For Participants.:
Ditto what we said for sponsors.  

We're really sorry we had to cancel the whole gig, but it just became impossible to finalize any plans and, quite frankly, we've just run out of time to make the event everything we wanted it to be.

Stay tuned for more news. Until then, Keep a safe braking distance from your rad friends & bag your face so you don't barf all over everybody! ​​

About the Gig: Hartwood Acres is Cool!

When we first embarked on this project, the team decided that music was a big part of the 80's and 90's scene. and should also be a big component of our Rad Era car event.
Soundtracks from movies were popular during the period and sometimes movies got made because of the songs.. "Okay, fine... Fer sure, fer sure."  Music and cars just fit well together in that 80's & 90's era.  The Miami Vice television show pioneered the use of current popular music and musicians in their shows and that tradition has carried on to this day in television and movies. Need was say more than Bueller?… Bueller?… Bueller? before a Ferrari comes to mind?

Hartwood Acres, the Home of Rock n Rad!

So, we approached the folks at Allegheny County to talk about holding our event at Hartwood Acres Amphitheater on a Sunday afternoon before one of their free concert series evenings. 

"We can bring some people to the park and celebrate the 80's & 90's in the afternoon if you guys can book an 80's or 90's band for the evening to round it out." we told them. 

And they, where. AWESOME! They loved the idea!

They already have food trucks, craft beer an porta-johns at the park so we can just plug things in earlier in the day and rock into the evening with rad tunes.
Rock n Rad Stage 2020
The Rock n Rad Stage. Yes! We have our own stage for the afternoon!
We worked the with team at Allegheny County to plan out some of the big logistics for our event. They helped us get a stage for the afternoon just for Rock n Rad!  You're really not going to want to miss this inaugural event!
If you haven't been to Hartwood Acres you should plan a trip before our Rock and Rad event and get a lay of the land.  Check out their event schedule. for the Summer Concert Series which should be updated by early Feburary.

It's really an amazing venue and it's what makes Allegheny County a really terrific place to call home..
According to Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald “One of the great traditions of summer is our free concert series at the Hartwood Acres Park amphitheater,” . “The Summer Concert Series has an exciting mix of styles that will appeal to music lovers of all ages. Whether you’re a frequent attendee, or have never been to one of our concerts, we hope you’ll join us for a great summer of live music, food trucks and craft beer.”
