Rock On The Range have announced a heavy weight lineup for their 5th annual event which will take place on May 21-22at Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.

The festival will be headed by A Perfect Circle (first performance of 2011), Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, Korn, Stone Sour and Staind (first performance in two years).

The festival will also include performances from Danzig, Hollywood Undead, Bullet For My Valentine, Black Label Society and Alter Bridge.

In addition, Juliya of Fuse TV will return as the Mistress of Ceremonies for the event.

"Three years ago my other band Ashes Divide was fortunate enough to play Rock On The Range as a support act; to return to the same festival and headline this year with A Perfect Circle is truly an honor," says Billy Howerdel of A Perfect Circle.

"We are honored that Rock On The Range has asked us be one of the headliners," says M Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold. "Not only is it an amazing show to be apart of, but it holds a deep spot in our hearts. Rock On The Range was the last American show we played with our best friend and drummer, The Rev. We are looking forward to continuing his legacy of rock n roll insanity that night! See you all there."

"If you suffer from stimulus overload, the fifth anniversary of Rock On The Range may be too much for you," quips Del Williams, co-executive producer of the event for Right Arm Entertainment. "Virtually all of the bands that make up the top of the Active Rock charts are performing at America's biggest Rock festival. When you look at the acts on the bill, and think of the massive list of songs that live in the body of that lineup, it's easy to get overwhelmed with excitement."

The Rock On The Range celebration will start early on Friday night, May 20 with the nation's biggest pre-festival Anniversary Party at the venue, featuring performances from two of the world's craziest throwback rock artists--Steel Panther and Lez Zeppelin. Best of all, your ticket to the Anniversary Party will be absolutely FREE with every ROCK ON THE RANGE weekend ticket purchase!
