Rock on the Range
Rock on the Range is an annual all-day festival of multiple rock band performances played at Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, OH.
2007
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 were on very scheduled times, which was supposed to give fans a chance to see every band. Schedules often overlapped with the end of one band's performance continuing beyond the start time of another band on a different stage.
