ROCK ON THE RANGE PRIZES AT THE SHOW

SPECIAL OFFER FOR U.S. MILITARY PLANNED IN CONNECTION WITH ARMED FORCES WEEKEND

 

 

      Performance times have been announced for ROCK ON THE RANGE, the annual rock festival at Crew Stadium in centrally located Columbus, Ohio.  The two-day, multi-stage music and lifestyle event will feature 19 bands on three stages each day.  (The full schedule is listed below.)

      As an added bonus for fans, ROCK ON THE RANGE has teamed with Define Mobil in 2009 to create ROTR text messaging, offering fans a chance to win prizes at the show, including the opportunity to watch the entire concert from the stage.

      This year’s nationally renowned ROCK ON THE RANGE festival will be highlighted by performances from some of rock’s biggest artists including Mötley Crüe, Slipknot, Alice In Chains, Avenged Sevenfold and Korn, and because ROCK ON THE RANGE coincides with the annual Armed Forces Weekend, festival producers are offering a special military discount on tickets for enlisted personnel.  Any active member of the U.S. Military need only bring their current military I.D. to the box office to redeem this special offer.  For more information, go to www.rockontherange.com.

      Presented by Right Arm Entertainment, AEG LIVE and Crew Stadium, the two-day, multi-stage music and lifestyle event drew 30,000 people in its inaugural year in 2007 and more than 55,000 people in 2008.  Event features this year include the addition of a third stage, the Jägermeister Music Stage, on-stage fan platforms for contest winners and an expanded vendor village.

      A limited number of tickets are still available for this year’s ROCK ON THE RANGE.  Single day GA stadium seats are available for only $54.50.  Two day GA stadium seating is offered for a discounted price of $99.50.
