Location:
17th Street Park
24th Street Park
31st Street Park
“Sandstock” – a Beach-inspired variation on “Woodstock” – pays homage to the music of the 60's, 70's, and 80's that “rocked our world!” National and local tribute artists who run the gamut from performers like The Who to Janis Joplin to Jimi Hendrix will crank out hit after hit on multiple stages at the Virginia Beach oceanfront.

Even “The King” himself will get in on the act with special shows at 17th Street Park.

To set the stage, each park will be decorated…thrill to the “Flower Power” hippies of the 60’s, the “Disco Divas” of the 70’s, and the “big hair” rockers of the 80’s! To electrify the night, a laser light show explodes on a giant screen on the beach to the music of Pink Floyd!

To add a touch of whimsy and period authenticity, psychedelic “hippie” vans provided by local and regional VW clubs, will be on display. Games and activities for kids will round out this “blast from the past!
