Monster Energy Carolina Rebellion expands to three full days in 2016, featuring best of today’s rock, along with legendary classic artists playing on four stages, the expanded Pig-Out BBQ village, and premium camping facilities. The 2016 festival is set for May 6, 7 and 8 at Rock City Campgrounds at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, NC, just outside Charlotte, NC.

The Mid-Atlantic’s Biggest Rock Festival sold out in advance in 2015, with a record-setting 80,000 fans in attendance for the fifth annual Monster Energy Carolina Rebellion.

The current band lineup for Monster Energy Carolina Rebellion 2016 is as follows: Disturbed, The Scorpions, Rob Zombie, ZZ Top, Five Finger Death Punch, Shinedown, Deftones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, A Day To Remember, 3 Doors Down, Alice Cooper, Bring Me The Horizon, Cypress Hill, Pennywise, Lamb Of God, Megadeth, Ghost, Sixx:A.M., Anthrax, Collective Soul, Clutch, The Sword, The Struts, Asking Alexandria, Yelawolf, BABYMETAL, Pop Evil, Bullet For My Valentine, P.O.D., Sevendust, Hellyeah, Between The Buried & Me, Parkway Drive, Black Stone Cherry, Saint Asonia, Trivium, Escape The Fate, August Burns Red, Turbowolf, Enter Shikari, Sick Puppies, Filter, Candlebox, Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown, New Years Day, Aranda, Thousand Foot Krutch, Red Sun Rising, Texas Hippie Coalition, Hands Like Houses, Code Orange, Failure Anthem, Avatar, Lacey Sturm, The Glorious Sons, From Ashes To New, Wilson, I Prevail, Monster Truck, Audiotopsy, Wild Throne, and RavenEye.

Co-Executive Producer Danny Wimmer says, "From its inception, we believed Carolina Rebellion would grow into a three day festival. There is a loyal rock fan base here to support Rebellion’s continued growth. While this of course means another full day of music, including more classic artists, the entire festival experience will be noticeably enhanced. This year’s emphasis will be on food. We will be hosting a ‘Gourmet Man Food’ offering that reflects the cultural food explosion that is happening all around the country.”

Looks like a little bit of something for everyone. And I like that DWP is a relatively small promotion company (Rock on the Range, Aftershock, Louder than Life, etc.) compared to AEG or Live Nation (even as they cross promote several of their festivals with Monster branding). And the prices seem right given what they offer at both GA and VIP add-on price points. So I envy any of you that get to go.

The only line that really had me cracking up was when the founder said, ". . . this year’s emphasis will be on food. We will be hosting a ‘Gourmet Man Food’ offering that reflects the cultural food explosion that is happening all around the country.”

Hmm? Then shouldn't it be a food festival? And the "Gourmet Man Food" label just yearns for punchlines, the likes of which I will refrain from slinging. However, I hope next year they might integrate some "Woman Food" too. You know, inclusivity and all that.

But, like I said, seems like a solid festival. I would be curious to hear from any fellow (or female) posters who have been previously. What's it like?

Similar lineup, but a little bit better than Rock On The Range. There's a few good shows around my area next year, but I still wanna go to one of these festivals. Scorpions would be cool to see and I've heard that Skynyrd puts on a helluva show. Megadeth and Lamb Of God as well as Bullet For My Valentine are all great live. It blows my mind that Disturbed is headlining over Alice Cooper. Their first album was great and all but they should show Alice respect since he will blow everybody of that stage I guarantee it. With all respect to those bands, Alice kills it.

Agree with you on Alice, Dj. He does a lot of the heavy-lifting at concerts where he is pegged a notch or two below where he belongs in terms of his catalog and fun stage show.

Disturbed? They disturb me. I can't figure out the appeal, esp. after I watched the riveting cover of "Sounds of Silence" that they recently unleashed on fans.

The best song they never wrote, though, is this one:

They nailed it!
