Smash Mouth is headlining Rocktoberfest; they will start +/- 8:30pm.

Smash Mouth is a multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated, global phenomenon, with six top-20 hits, including the Shrek soundtrack I’m A Believer, Walkin’ On The Sun, and All Star (the latter two going all the way to #1, and All Star recently surpassing a mind-boggling ONE BILLION streams on Spotify). Their social media acclaim (their You Tube channel boasts over one million subscribers), recognized by Billboard, Rolling Stone, Newsweek, and many other outlets, is testament to their enduring influence. Their legendary live performance status stems from their universal appeal, electrifying stage presence, and incredible catalogue of music. Unquestionably the most impactful and decorated band to ever perform in Reston Town Center, they are sure to make this inaugural Rocktoberfest a night to remember. Forget the moon — by the end of the night we will all be walkin’ on the sun!

Ace Monroe will open @ 6:45pm.

Ace Monroe is a Nashville-based up-and-comer with an old rock & roll soul. Their new album, Wild Card, and prior hits like Don’t Mind and Summer Heat, harken back to 70s and 80s unapologetic rock & roll, influenced by some of the greatest of all time. Purple Haze Magazine has highlighted them as “definitely one to keep your eyes on,” enthusing that their “raw talent and energy is infectious.” Ace Monroe will absolutely rock the house, have you out of your seats, and drive the rock in Rocktoberfest to the limits!

keeton opens Rocktoberfest @ 5pm.

keeton is a 90s/alternative cover band out of DC with a strong, loyal following. Playing everything from Pearl Jam to Foo Fighters to Gin Blossoms to Third Eye Blind, their wide array of upbeat, energetic songs, high-octane guitar riffs, and strong vocal harmonies makes them the perfect band to get the Rocktoberfest party started!
