The Rolling Stone Volkswagen Rock & Roll Fan Tailgate Party will be held at Crane Bay, which is three blocks from Lucas Oil Stadium. There will be live performances from Jane’s Addiction, The Roots, and Pete Wentz. Renowned chef John Besh will design and create a game day menu that should be delicious.
The legendary Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana, will make a guest appearance at the party. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of “The Catch,” Joe will throw passes to eight lucky fans in the Volkswagen end zone in celebration of one of the most memorable moments in football history.

VW will also be shuttling fans from airports and hotels. VW has ensured free parking on site so that fans driving into Indianapolis don't have to worry when attending the Tailgate Party.
