Drama continues to swirl in the aftermath of the 2023 The Blue Ridge Rock Festival. According to a published report from Lambgoat and Metal Insider, in addition to many issues stemmming from the management of the fest, and the weather, many attendees were reporting gastrointestinal issues. The Virginia Department of Health (VDH), in collaboration with the Southside Health District, is actively investigating these complaints. According to WRIC, festival-goers, including Andy Petite from Massachusetts, have complained of nausea and diarrhea, potentially linked to the event. Petite and three friends who consumed water from festival stations allegedly fell ill, exhibiting similar symptoms. Petite, suspecting exposure to giardia, underwent medical testing.
