ROCK ON THE RANGE--America’s premier rock festival--is a sell out in advance of this weekend's eighth annual event. This marks the second consecutive year that the three-day multi-stage music and lifestyle event will be sold out (last year the festival hosted a sold-out crowd of over 103,000 fans).

This year’s expanded festival offerings also includes the return of ROTR Comedy Tent, featuring Jim Breuer, Jim Florentine, Don Jamieson and many up-and-coming comedians.
The ROTR 2014 weekend will kick off with the debut of the Monster Energy Roast On The Range with Corey Taylor. Set for tonight (Thursday, May 15) at LC Pavilion in Columbus, OH, it will honor and lampoon Slipknot and Stone Sour vocalist Corey Taylor. Nearly a dozen musicians and comedians, led by Roastmaster Sebastian Bach, will participate in the third annual–and first to be held in the heartland–event hosted by Revolver and Guitar World’s Rock & Roll Roast Comedy Series. A separate ticket is required for the event.
