Rock on the Range 2014 Lineup Announced

Rock on the Range is set for May 16, 17 and 18 at Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. 

Guns n' Roses, Avenged Sevenfold and Kid Rock are the headliners. Other decent acts include Five Finger Death Punch, Slayer, Motorhead and Black Label Society.

To be honest, I'm underwhelmed with this lineup. I guess I was hoping for a bigger headliner, or less filler at the bottom maybe. What do you think?

You can buy tickets starting January 24.

Appreciate the nod, bkallday. Glad to see we are starting the new year off on more positive footing. I suspect we will continue to disagree and throw some strongly (perhaps wrongly) lobbed darts at each other. But keeping it fun, with a bit of snark mixed in, is what this site is all about.

Metalboy!, you made me do a spit-take! I enjoy your long and your short posts. But that was a measure of succinctness, complimentary and critical, that I will never be able to achieve. Well done.

DJ and Co. you are all correct: Overkill belong on the list. Criminally under-rated and still churning out good music. They probably belong just below Testament in terms of consistency [side bar: they were amazing at Aftershock this past year].

I also give Anthrax a lot of credit, what with their fusion of comic book/Stephen King and genre-crossing experimentation (lucky they got to work with Chuck D, a gifted artist and incredible writer). That said, never cared much for them aside from STD, ATL and the lead single off SOWN with Bello. Still, they deserve their due as well.

saw fozzy warming up for saxon recently....not to be missed

[Metalboy!]

Oysterboy! Whoa! What show was that? Baltimore? Thought maybe your moniker was a tip.

SAXON is one of my FAVES. Been seein' em since "Crusader" at Hammerjack's way back and most recently, last year's Monsters of Rock Cruise. \m/s

p.s. FOZZY is quite amusing, indeed.
