According to a comment from Blue Ridge Rock Festival on their Facebook page, “Initially, Oliver was only going to be performing for VIP and Rockstar Ticketholders, because the Acoustic Stage is only open to VIP/Rockstar. HOWEVER, we and Oliver have all heard your requests and are very excited to share that we have worked with Production to find a way to squeeze in a Main Stage set that will be open to all!!”
The date and time of his performance have not yet been released but will be announced 10 to 14 days before the festival.
