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."

Dropkick Murphys today announce their plans for 2013's "St. Patrick's Day Tour," which will begin on February 21 in Cleveland, OH and concluding with three dates in their hometown of Boston, MA including the fulfillment of the band's career-long dream of headlining the Boston Garden, now known as TD Garden on March 15. The Garden show will be billed as "Dropkick Murphys Irish Festival," with bands and attractions on two stages. The entire tour will have an epic finale on St. Patrick's Day (March 17) at The House of Blues on Boston's famed Lansdowne Street. For a full itinerary please see below.
Pre-order for the band's newest full-length LP, SIGNED and SEALED in BLOOD, begins Friday November 23-Black Friday-via iTunes as well as the band's webstore. The album is to be released January 8th via band-owned Born and Bred Records. Fans who pre-order the album via the webstore will also have the opportunity to purchase a ticket-merchandise bundle for the band's 2013 "St. Patrick's Day" tour. The details of the bundle option is below the tour dates.
SIGNED and SEALED in BLOOD is the band's second with producer Ted Hutt (Gaslight Anthem, Old Crow Medicine Show). It was recorded by James R. Brown (Foo Fighters) at Boston's Q Division studios, and mixed by Joe Chiccarelli (The White Stripes). "We had such a great time writing our last album, Going Out In Style, we were excited to get back into the studio right away," says bassist and co-lead singer Ken Casey. "Where Going Out in Style was a concept album-kind of intricate and difficult-this one is catchy, fun, and as sing-along as can be."
The band recently shared their new music video for their song "Rose Tattoo." The video features contributions by the band's most devoted fans, whom the band asked to get tattoos of the new album art, and then send in videos and photos of their new ink. "Rose Tattoo" features Winston Marshall from Mumford & Sons playing banjo. The video premiered on RollingStone.com on Wednesday, and you can watch the video on Youtube by clicking the link below:
