Rockabilly Rockout is a new four-day rockabilly festival in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada from October 2 – October 5. Alchemy Tattoo is going to be there in force offering traditional tattoos alongside the old school music.

All told, Rockabilly Rockout weekend includes 16 bands and seven record hops, with more of the latter to be announced. Records will spin both between bands and on their own. Deke Dickerson will be MCing the entire event. Gold Cost hotel plays host to the event, adding a touch of old school Vegas character and charm. No car show, but there will be a parking lot on hand strictly for classic cars, giving vintage gearheads the opportunity to play a little show and tell.

Headlining bands include Wild Records recording artists the Rhythm Shakers, Carlos and the Bandidos from the United Kingdom, Young Jessie, Great Britain’s The Jets and Deke Dickerson and Eccofonics. Don Maddox of the Maddox Brothers will be joining Step It Up and Go as a special guest. Venues will remain open until 7 a.m. in most cases, letting you rock all night long.

There are going to be a lot of vendors at the Rockabilly Rockout selling clothes, shoes and records, but there’s only going to be one tattoo shop on hand — Alchemy. Save your cash and make some time in between bands to get that piece of old school flash you’ve been thinking about or something a little more unique and custom.

You can get your four-day ticket pass at the Rockout Rockabilly website for just $120. See you there.
