Rock On The Range, America’s premier destination rock festival, is about to get bigger. The annual event is expanding to three days and will hit hard with performances from some of rock’s biggest names on each night of the festival: Friday, May 17, Saturday, May 18 and Sunday, May 19, 2013.

Now in its seventh year, ROTR will again take place at Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, OH and be marked by a spectacular lineup of rock heavyweights. With the addition of some notable headliners on Friday, festival organizers are also working on a series of additional enhancements for ROTR 2013. Improvements, added amenities and updates will be announced in early 2013 with the festival’s line-up.

“We are constantly working to improve upon the success of Rock On The Range,” says Gary Spivack, co-executive producer of the multi-stage music and lifestyle event for Right Arm Entertainment. “For one, we'll have more ticket buying options than ever before and incentives for the ‘Rangers’ to buy early. Also, no longer will the Friday night be solely a 'pre-party;' it will be incorporated into the full weekend truly making ROTR the biggest destination festival for rock ‘n roll in the United States.”

"With more than 70,000 fans from 49 states attending Rock on the Range in 2012, we fully expect the seventh installment to be the best music festival to date in our venue."
