Rob Gronkowski is looking forward to talking a lot of smack at his upcoming Gronk Beach music festival this weekend.
The former NFL player exclusively spoke with Page Six ahead of the DoorDash-sponsored event taking place during WWE’s WrestleMania in Las Vegas this weekend.
“What you can expect is a full-out blitz,” Gronk told us in a video interview. “I’m bringing it back to where the Gronk was the Gronk when I was 21 to 26 years old.”
“I’m bringing back my dance moves, my party skills, and this party is going to be off the charts.”
Artists set to take the stage include DJ Irie, Myles O’Neal, and DJ A.J, and WWE Superstars Tiffany Stratton, Trick Williams, and Lash Legend are expected to attend.
“If you’re a wrestling fan, this is the party to be at,” Gronkowski said.
When asked what he is most looking forward to, the retired tight end said, “Getting on the microphone and just talking garbage.”
“You know, I’m going to pick a fight with 1 or 2 of the wrestlers,” he joked. “I do it every year just for, you know, laughs and giggles, you know, nothing serious, but I love getting on the microphone.
“I love shouting out people in the crowd. I love pretending to sing on the microphone as well. And I’m just going to bring the juice to the table as well, and that’s what it’s all about. And raise the glass, you know, give a little cheers and take some shots.”
To promote the party, Gronk is planning on surprising some lucky DoorDash customers by delivering their orders.
“It’s always fun to do that, because you get to see the shock factor on those people’s faces when they open the door and they see me,” Gronk said. “And it’s also alarming when they’re football fans.”
“And then it’s also alarming to me when they have no clue who I am, and it makes it fun as well for me, because then I get to be a fool and a character to egg it on and make it more hysterical because they have no clue who I am,” he continued.
“So then I play an even bigger, wild character just to make it funny.”
The late-night event will take place at Marquee Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan on April 19, and will feature activations from DoorDash, Monster Energy, Mad Dog, Stella Rosa and Shaq-a-Licious XL Gummies.
“This party is going to be epic. I’m going to be ready to go — I’m throwing it back to my heyday,” he said, adding, “If none of my [former NFL] teammates want to show up, well guess what? They’re going to see it on TV the next day and say, ‘Dang, I should have went to that party.’”
Past A-listers in attendance at Gronkowski’s annual dance party include Bill Belichick, Travis Kelce, Russell Westbrook, and Lizzo.
