Man is this summer getting crowded with touring festivals. Only two days after Ozzfest announced it's lineup, we see a brand new tour from the founders of Mayhem Fest, focused more on rock than metal. They are calling it Rockstar Energy Uproar and here is the lineup, spread across two stages:
Main Stage
Disturbed
Avenged Sevenfold
Stone Sour
HalestormJager Second Stage
Hellyeah
Airbourne
Hail the Villian
New Medicine
Overall, if you are into the less aggressive spectrum of metal (read:radio rock), this definitely seems like the festival for you. For me, again, this seems skippable. All three headlining bands will be promoting new Summer releases so this will be a big tour. Here is the current itinerary:
