Wow, it turns out that Lou’s LaGrotto mostly knew what they were talking about. The Peru, IL restaurant posted a lineup back in April for the supposed Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival written in marker like it was the day’s lunch specials. Today the lineup has officially been unveiled, and for the most part, it’s many of the same bands originally listed. Starting on August 15 in Detroit, this year’s incarnation of the fest will feature:
Godsmack
Seether
Skillet
Buckcherry
Pop Evil
Escape the Fate
Redlight King
3 Years Hollow
Within Reason
New Medicine
Sons of Revelry
These Raven Skies
Tattered
In addition, there will be a burlesque show from Suicide Girls. This will be the second time Godsmack has played the Uproar festival, having been on it in 2012. For the festival’s fifth year, it finds the lineup much more firmly in the active rock world, which is in keeping with what co-founder John Reese told us when we interviewed him last week.
