A Brief History Of THROB:
THROB, or The Hard Rock of Blacksburg, is WUVT’s historic music festival that is coming BACK!!! The festival began as a fundraiser event for the station, with some instances going as long as 12 full hours of live music, all in Blacksburg. Really makes you think 🤔, what happened to the Blacksburg music scene?
Thank you to @daphnesgunk for providing these archived posters from past THROB’s. Check out Daphne’s work, she’s the best?
Can you feel it?
