More than 38 bands will come together for the fourth annual Rock On The Range, set for May 22 and 23 at Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. The lineup will boast the return of the reunited Limp Bizkit, who have almost exclusively played European festivals since their reunion, save one show last summer in Las Vegas. The festival also will include first-timer "Rangers" Rob Zombie and Godsmack and the festival solo debut of Slash. Fans also will see the impressive lineup of Three Days Grace, Seether, Rise Against, Deftones, Papa Roach, Theory Of A Deadman, Mastodon, Killswitch Engage, Coheed & Cambria, Bullet for My Valentine, Puddle Of Mudd, Five Finger Death Punch, Apocalyptica, Drowning Pool, Halestorm, Sevendust, Skillet, Mushroomhead, Helmet, Airbourne, Anberlin, Cold, Nonpoint, 2Cents, Adelitas Way, Shaman's Harvest, Year Long Disaster, Like A Storm, Taddy Porter, Janus, Columbus’ own Noise Auction and more.
Del Williams, Co-Executive Producer of the event for Right Arm Entertainment, stated, "We designed ROTR 2010 to be the biggest weekend of ROCK at an incredibly low ticket price for the fans affectionately referred to as the ‘Rangers.’ This year’s lineup represents the most compelling mix of bands that we have ever had. Godsmack is one of the most prolific Active Rock bands of all time, and the intrepid Rob Zombie is an unrivaled performer. We are particularly excited about the return of Limp Bizkit, who have been tearing it up at European Festivals. It is time for them to come back to America and remind people why they were at one time one of the biggest bands in the world."
"In four short years, this festival has become like no other in the United States," added Joe Litvag, co-executive producer of the festival for AEG Live. "We've been fortunate enough to create something that caters to a very specific music lover, and the fans have become truly rabid for it. Rock On The Range has become the summer destination for an entire nation of rock fans… It’s amazing really."
