Rock on the Range 2009
Rock on the Range 2009 freaking Rocked!!!
Per Wikipedia:
Rock on the Range is an annual rock festival at Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, OH. It has also recently been added to Canada in Winnipeg, Manitoba at Canad Inns Stadium.[1] Rock on the Range debuted in Columbus on May 19, 2007 and is set to debut in Winnipeg on June 27, 2009. Rock on the Range displays some of the most popular bands in hard rock, alternative rock, and metal today, with a classic band usually headlining the show.
Columbus
The first Rock on the Range was held on May 19, 2007 at Columbus Crew Stadium. The sold-out festival ran all day, beginning around noon and ending after 11:00 PM. Due to such success, Rock on the Range was turned into an annual event by returning to Columbus Crew Stadium in 2008. The second festival was a two-day event held on the weekend of May 17-18, 2008. This show had the very first Stone Temple Pilots performance in 7 years, ending the band's hiatus.[2] The 2009 show is set to be two days as well, for the weekend of May 16-17, 2009. The lineup was announced on Rock on the Range's official website on Friday, February 13th, 2009.
The festival usually draws around 30,000 fans each day onto the Columbus Crew Stadium grounds. In 2007 and 2008, two stages were set up: The main stage is inside the stadium at one end of the soccer field, and the second stage is in the parking lot just outside the stadium. For the 2009 show, a third stage is to be added, the Jagermeister Music Stage.[3] It will be outside of the stadium like the second stage. The typical ticket price in the past, and for 2009 as well, is around $50-65 per day, depending on whether attendees wanted field-access or not.
