Rock on the Range is an annual rock festival played at Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, OH.

Overview

Rock on the Range is one of the biggest rock festivals in the Midwest. It's always in mid-May, and displays some of the most popular bands in alternative rock, hard rock, and metal today.

The first annual Rock on the Range kicked off on May 19, 2007. The sold-out festival ran all day, beginning around noon and ending a little after 11:00 PM. Due to such success from the first Rock on the Range, the second festival turned into a 2-day event during the weekend of May 17-18, 2008. The 2008 show had the first Stone Temple Pilots performance in 7 years, ending the band's hiatus.

The annual festival usually draws around 40,000 fans into Columbus Crew Stadium. Two stages are 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. A limited number of guests are allowed access to the field.
