I also just got this from VIR:
"At the fan parties, music on the PA will start as soon as the track goes cold. Then the band Nex-Faze will take the stage from 7:30-10:30 on both Friday and Saturday. Nex-Faze plays an awesome mix of classic rock, 80's, 90's & modern rock and country as well. The VIR Girls will be at the parties with various give-aways for the fans from our sponsors. And what would Octoberfest be without beer? Special sponsors of the fan parties are Spaten and Leinenkugel's Octoberfest - two premium beers that will be served at the fan parties along with food for those that work up an appetite dancing! "
