In 2010, hairy clas­sic rock/metal fan Dave Keyes star­ted throw­ing non-profit DressUp-Rock­Out events and the Gods of Rock Awards at his work­place.

In 2010 Wel­ling­ton Rocks’ Rock­to­ber event raised $1300 for the Can­cer Soci­ety and then in 2011 the Gods of Rock event raised $2600 to split evenly between the Can­cer Soci­ety and the Red Cross Earth­quake Appeal for Christ­ch­urch. They’re doing it all over again this year, and you should go along.

Rock Gods Gath­er For Rock­to­ber
Wellington’s annu­al and char­it­able trib­ute to rock fans

Wellington’s annu­al Rock­to­ber: Trib­ute party, is a night of pure rock/metal indul­gence. On Sat­urday, 13th Octo­ber some 300–400 rev­el­ers will be rock­ing through the even­ing and into the night, as top notch trib­ute bands bring AC/DC, Guns n Roses, Maid­en, Möt­ley, Motör­head & Metal­lica to life – along with rock DJs belt­ing out clas­sics.

All the while, select judges will scour the crowd for the 2012 Gods of Rock Awards con­tenders and win­ners. So get dressed up and rock out big time for your chance to claim trophies & prizes as Air Gui­tar Legend, Dance Demon and Ulti­mate Rock God!
