''EVANESCENCE, VELVET REVOLVER, PAPA ROACH Confirmed For Ohio's ROCK ON THE RANGE Festival

EVANESCENCE, VELVET REVOLVER, PAPA ROACH and BUCKCHERRY are among the confirmed bands for the first annual Rock On The Range music festival, set to take place Saturday, May 19 at the Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. Also scheduled to appear are ZZ TOP, HINDER, BREAKING BENJAMIN, CHEVELLE, THREE DAYS GRACE, PUDDLE OF MUDD and BLACK STONE CHERRY, among others.

"No event like Rock on the Range currently exists in the area and it has the potential to fill a tremendous void for outdoor summer concert entertainment in the future," Columbus Crew General Manager Mark McCullers said, according to Soccer365.

"This is a music festival that was not created with trendiness in mind — the only prerequisite at Rock On The Range is a passion for great rock music and a good time," said organizer Del Williams. "We chose Columbus as the location for this national event because it's centrally located. And right there, in the heart of America, is where you'll find the epicenter of pure, no-strings-attached rock n' roll."

''Evanescence's hurling star

Evanescence has sold over 15 million records in three years. Amy Lee is the rock band's singer-songwriter and creative fulcrum within the group. But the 25-year-old still throws up on stage.

"Oh, yeah, I've totally 'barfed' during a concert," she admitted. "It does happen on stage, you know."

Aren't rockers consummate professionals and masters of their stage craft?

"No, people 'barf' on stage all the time. They just don't admit it. Think about it. When I'm running around onstage, I'm also clenching the stomach muscles around the diaphragm to project my voice. That's where you feel the nausea first.

"I've never barfed on the crowd, but it has come up in my mouth before. I've just had to turn away and swallow."'' ► Read More

''Amy + Terry Evanescence Talk Touring, Fans + More!

Evanescence rocked out Oz this month when they touched down for their Aussie tour and we were super lucky to nab Amy and Terry for an exclusive interview! Hear them chat all about their new album, life on the road and loads of interesting stuff - like what Amy like to collect from her fans - right here, and if you were at the first Sydney show, you might even see yourselves in our footage...

Amy Lee and her crew Evanescence showed Australia some almighty rock power this month on their 'Open Door' tour and in their down-time on our sunny shores we were able to quiz Amy and Terry on a few things we've always wanted to know...

They told us all sorts of things touring together... like why they love playing here in Australia, what their rituals are before the show, how they choose their set lists, and which show they liked playing most... (WA you scored!)

They also chatted about their fans and what makes their Aussie fans so special to them. Amy even let slip what she collects from her fans...

Hear them talk all about their latest album 'The Open Door' which Amy insists is her best yet:

"It's so cool to listen to the album now 'cos we really did win. Nothing was compromised."

Watch the interview in Parts 1 & 2 here and all you Sydneysiders look out for yourselves in case you're on the film we shot before the show!
