About the festival

Rockfest is an epic showcase of the greatest music videos from around the world taking place in the heart of Hollywood, CA! The art of combining epic and awe inspiring music with innovative and thought provoking imagery has been synonymous with the music scene, even before the very first broadcast of a music video on MTV, "Video Killed The Radio Star" on August 1st, 1981.

Since then, music videos have become a staple of any band to present a visual story alongside their biggest hits as a means of creative expression.

We want you to present us the most innovative, creative and original music videos out there to be screened before a live audience at Rockfest 2020! Official selections will be given the Interactive Rock Star Experience and may earn the chance to perform live on stage, headlining our event alongside our celebrity guests of the evening.

Join the tour as we present to you a showcase of film, music and rock and roll like no other!
