Skateboard Marketing, a US radio-promotion company specialising in hard rock and heavy metal, is marking its 35th anniversary with a party in Brooklyn on 9 October 2026. Founded by Munsey Ricci in 1991, the firm says it has helped both emerging and established metal acts reach audiences through commercial, satellite, syndicated and college radio.

The event at The Meadows will be hosted by comedian Don Jamieson and include an all-star jam band. Skateboard Marketing has previously staged convention showcases featuring artists including Fear Factory and Blind Guardian, and launched the Metal Contraband radio-reporting platform in 2016 after identifying a gap in metal airplay information. Its past campaigns have included major acts such as Motörhead, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Ozzy Osbourne.
