Korn, Love and Death � May 17: The metal world pretty much freaked when they heard the news that former Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch, who left the band years ago after getting sober and finding Christianity, would be back to perform with the band at Rock on the Range 2013. Now, Welch has a whole tour lined up with Korn, but the excitement to see the band together again at Rock on the Range is still strong. Welch's other band, Christian hard rockers Love and Death, are also scheduled to play the festival.

Smashing Pumpkins � May 18: Best known for psychedelic '90s nuggets such as "Tonight, Tonight" and "1979," the Pumpkins are currently on the road in support of their latest full-length, Oceania. Expect to hear plenty of new material and the band's signature dream pop, shoegaze sound.

Corgan recently chatted with Gibson.com about how the band has evolved over the years. "I think maybe the values that the band represents are like a fine wine: They've gotten better over time," Corgan said. "There were a lot of value systems that were around the band where people pretended they were cooler or more indie, and those have kind of fallen by the wayside. I think that being musical and the integrity of having your own musical language is more important over time than whether somebody likes you or whether you're popular."

Stone Sour � May 18: Corey Taylor and Stone Sour arrive at Rock on the Range with not one, but two new albums: House of Gold & Bones Part I and Part II. The albums make up a double concept release of sorts, and Taylor recently spoke with Gibson.com about the idea behind releasing the double set.
