Rock 2 Adopt Is Back Oct. 17-18: See Every Band on the Rescheduled Lineup

Rock 2 Adopt had to be rescheduled this year due to the unforeseen circumstances of a massive Nor'easter taking over the Jersey Shore during the festival's original dates of September 26th and 27th.

Everything you need to know about Rock 2 Adopts rescheduled weekend is right here, but the key takeaway is that the event will be between October 17th and October 18th; it's still in Veterans Park in Bayville, and wristbands are still available for $25; and all the proceeds go to support local animal-related causes.
