The bill will be rounded out by Alter Bridge, Theory Of A Deadman, Sevendust, Default, 10 Years, Bobaflex, Red, Airbourne and Black Tide.

Rock on the Range will be Stone Temple Pilots' first show in more than seven years. Frontman Scott Weiland recently entered rehab but is expected to be ready to return to the road in time for Rock on the Range. Other STP shows have yet to be announced.
