Sponsors like Del Monte, Navitas, Deakin University, JPC and Steag have extended their support. Free entry family passes were distributed across corporate, schools, colleges and for the individuals through the web and the organizers expect a huge turnout.
Throughout the day well-known rock musicians enthralled the crowd with rock classics. Soul Reich, a band led by Loy Mendonsa, of the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy trio, performed for the first time in Delhi as a new band. Loy took to the stage with well known 80's vocalist Atul Ahuja. ReRock 4 also celebrated legendary 80's band Ebony and honoured their lifelong commitment to rock music in India with the First ReRock Award was given to Loy Mendonsa.

ReRock is not just any other rock festival. It is a cultural phenomenon reaching out to different generations with its combination of legendary rock bands as well as new talent. The event was attended by the families, rather than just the young crowd. For parents it was a time to remember and relive the best of Indian rock. For their sons and daughters it was an opportunity to rediscover Indian rock. The ReRock phenomenon is based on underlying changes taking place around us and within us in urban India. It was an occasion for families to reunite through their common love for the unique genre of music that we call rock.
This unique amalgamation of great music and family fun was further heightened with great food. It was a wonderful outdoorsy fiesta where fans got a taste of lip-smacking delights. There were many other choices of Indian and International meals and snacks at stalls set up by leading fast-food chains.
