Rock On The Range is celebrating its fifth anniversary!
America’s premier destination rock festival — May 21-22 at ‘Columbus Crew Stadium’ in Columbus, Ohio — will feature a spectacular lineup of rock heavyweights including A Perfect CIRCLE (first performance of 2011), Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, Korn, Stone Sour and Staind (first performance in two years). The unforgettable weekend will also be highlighted by performances from Danzig, Hollywood Undead, Bullet For My Valentine, Black Label Society and Alter Bridge. In addition, Juliya of Fuse TV will return as the Mistress of Ceremonies for the event.
“Three years ago my other band Ashes Divide was fortunate enough to play Rock On The Range as a support act; to return to the same festival and headline this year with A Perfect Circle is truly an honor” – says Billy Howerdel of A Perfect Circle.
“We are honored that Rock On The Range has asked us be one of the headliners” – says M. Shadows of Aveged Sevenfold. “Not only is it an amazing show to be a part of, but it holds a deep spot in our hearts. Rock On The Range was the last American show we played with our best friend and drummer, The Rev. We are looking forward to continuing his legacy of rock n roll insanity that night! See you all there.”
“It seems like only yesterday that we created this vision for an active rock festival in the heartland, but it’s actually been five years now” – comments Joe Litvag, co-executive producer of the event for AEG Live. “If it weren’t for the loyal fan base of active rock fans, the ‘Rangers,’ Rock On The Range would still just be an idea on the back of a napkin! We can’t think of a better way to say ‘thank you’ then to throw a big FREE party for everyone! It will be a night of unmatched celebration!”
