'''Rock on the Range''' was an annual [[rock festival]] that was held at two locations. The first and main location was in [[Columbus, Ohio]], [[United States]] at [[Mapfre Stadium]] (originally Columbus Crew Stadium; renamed in 2015) from 2007 to 2018, while the other was in [[Winnipeg, Manitoba]], [[Canada]] at the [[Canad Inns Stadium]] from 2009 to 2011. Rock on the Range debuted in Columbus on May 19, 2007, and in Winnipeg on June 27, 2009. The Columbus festival was always held in May, while the Winnipeg festival was pushed back to August in 2010. In May 2019, Rock on the Range was replaced by the [[Sonic Temple (festival)|Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=info |url=https://www.thelantern.com/2018/11/first-ever-sonic-temple-art-music-festival-to-replace-rock-on-the-range/#:~:text=Sonic%20Temple%20Art%20%2B%20Music%20Festival%2C%20Columbus'%20newest%20concert%20and,at%20MAPFRE%20Stadium%20in%20May. |access-date=July 26, 2020 |website=thelantern.com}}</ref>

==Columbus==
The first annual Rock on the Range took place on May 19, 2007. The sold-out festival started at noon, and ended around 11:00 PM. There were two stages: The Main Stage was inside the stadium at one end of the soccer field, and the "Mad Packers" Second Stage was in the parking lot just outside the stadium. The bands that performed in this concert were [[ZZ Top]], [[Evanescence]], [[Velvet Revolver]], [[Hinder]], [[Papa Roach]], [[Breaking Benjamin]], [[Three Days Grace]], [[Chevelle]], [[Buckcherry]], [[Puddle of Mudd]], [[Black Stone Cherry]], [[Operator]], [[2 Cents]], and [[Whitestarr]]. The bands were on very scheduled times, which was supposed to give fans a chance to see every band. It was near impossible, though, with loads of traffic in between stages.


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&nbsp;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 seven years, ending the band's [[Sabbatical|hiatus]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Stone Temple Pilots Return at Rock on the Range Festival |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2008/05/19/stone-temple-pilots-roll-out-the-hits-for-return-at-rock-on-the-range-festival|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080521061325/http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2008/05/19/stone-temple-pilots-roll-out-the-hits-for-return-at-rock-on-the-range-festival/|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 21, 2008}}</ref> The 2009 show was two days as well, on the weekend of May 16–17, 2009. The lineup was announced on Rock on the Range's official website on Friday, February 13, 2009. For the 2010 festival, each stage has its own sponsor. While the Zippo Music Stage (formerly Jägermeister) is still the same, the "second" stage and the main stage (as they have been previously called) are now referred to as the Bud Light Stage (formerly the Kicker Stage) and the [[Monster Energy]] Stage, respectively. Other sponsors host their own events, such as Sony's PlayStation bus that demos new video games. An FYE tent is located near the Kicker Stage where, upon purchase of certain bands' CDs, many meet-and-greets take place.

The festival would often draw more than 30,000 fans each day onto the Columbus Crew Stadium grounds from its inception but in recent years that number has swelled to approximately 40,000 per day. This has occurred mainly due to a rise in the festival's popularity as well as some changes to the festival grounds layout and expansion of the number of festival days.
Rock on the Range's official website, rockontherange.com, has already confirmed that there will be a 2nd annual Rock on the Range in May of 2008. Although Rock on the Range hasn't announced any bands yet for this event, [[Jacoby Shaddix]] of [[Papa Roach]] has said on Rock on the Range's [[My Space]] that his band will be performing in Rock on the Range 2008.

{{Uncategorized|date=October 2007}}
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 was added, the Zippo Music Stage (formerly the Jägermeister stage). It is located outside of the stadium on the opposite side of the second stage. The typical ticket price in the past, and for 2010 as well, is around $50–65 per day, depending on whether attendees choose to have field-access or not. Rock on the Range 2009 was [[Avenged Sevenfold]]'s last appearance in the United States before their drummer, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan died on December 28, 2009. During their performance on May 22, 2010, the music video for [[Papa Roach]]'s single "Kick in the Teeth" was filmed.

In 2011 and 2012 the festival saw a major change and was expanded to include an additional half-day Friday Night Pre-party that saw the addition of four more bands being added for the party.

In 2013 it was announced that the pre-party day would be made into another full day by adding six more bands to the previous four bands to officially make the festival a three-day event. Also, new to this event year is an updated festival layout and new amenities including a comedy tent and stage, thanks to sponsors [[Old Milwaukee]], [[Pabst Blue Ribbon]] and [[The Funny Bone]].

In 2014 it was announced that the third day added in 2013 would be expanded to allow for additional bands to be added to the line-up. The comedy tent and stage added in 2013 would also return. Also, new was an updated festival layout with the addition of carnival rides including a Ferris wheel and a Shock drop.

Rock on the Range was an annual rock festival that was held at two locations. The first and main location was in Columbus, Ohio, United States at Mapfre Stadium (originally Columbus Crew Stadium; renamed in 2015) from 2007 to 2018, while the other was in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada at the Canad Inns Stadium from 2009 to 2011. Rock on the Range debuted in Columbus on May 19, 2007, and in Winnipeg on June 27, 2009. The Columbus festival was always held in May, while the Winnipeg festival was pushed back to August in 2010. In May 2019, Rock on the Range was replaced by the Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival.[1]

Columbus

[edit]

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 seven years, ending the band's hiatus.[2] The 2009 show was two days as well, on the weekend of May 16–17, 2009. The lineup was announced on Rock on the Range's official website on Friday, February 13, 2009. For the 2010 festival, each stage has its own sponsor. While the Zippo Music Stage (formerly Jägermeister) is still the same, the "second" stage and the main stage (as they have been previously called) are now referred to as the Bud Light Stage (formerly the Kicker Stage) and the Monster Energy Stage, respectively. Other sponsors host their own events, such as Sony's PlayStation bus that demos new video games. An FYE tent is located near the Kicker Stage where, upon purchase of certain bands' CDs, many meet-and-greets take place.

The festival would often draw more than 30,000 fans each day onto the Columbus Crew Stadium grounds from its inception but in recent years that number has swelled to approximately 40,000 per day. This has occurred mainly due to a rise in the festival's popularity as well as some changes to the festival grounds layout and expansion of the number of festival days.

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 was added, the Zippo Music Stage (formerly the Jägermeister stage). It is located outside of the stadium on the opposite side of the second stage. The typical ticket price in the past, and for 2010 as well, is around $50–65 per day, depending on whether attendees choose to have field-access or not. Rock on the Range 2009 was Avenged Sevenfold's last appearance in the United States before their drummer, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan died on December 28, 2009. During their performance on May 22, 2010, the music video for Papa Roach's single "Kick in the Teeth" was filmed.

In 2011 and 2012 the festival saw a major change and was expanded to include an additional half-day Friday Night Pre-party that saw the addition of four more bands being added for the party.

In 2013 it was announced that the pre-party day would be made into another full day by adding six more bands to the previous four bands to officially make the festival a three-day event. Also, new to this event year is an updated festival layout and new amenities including a comedy tent and stage, thanks to sponsors Old Milwaukee, Pabst Blue Ribbon and The Funny Bone.

In 2014 it was announced that the third day added in 2013 would be expanded to allow for additional bands to be added to the line-up. The comedy tent and stage added in 2013 would also return. Also, new was an updated festival layout with the addition of carnival rides including a Ferris wheel and a Shock drop.
