With a brand new album under their belts, festival headliners Tool took Monster Energy Stage at precisely 7:25 pm with the live debut of “Fear Inoculum”, and for the next hour and a half the band played a 10-song set that included “Jambi” “Stinkfist”, and the live debut of “Pneuma”. It was them time for Korn to close out the Kolas Discovery Stage, and the band did just that with a frantic 60-minute set that drew the biggest crowd to that stage all weekend. The supergroup - comprised of Black Sabbath’s Geezer Butler, Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens, ex-Guns N’ Roses drummer Matt Sorum, and singer Franky Perez - tore through a setlist that included Black Sabbath classics “Symptom of the Universe” and “Neon Knights.” It may have seemed odd that such big names were playing such a small stage, but the band clearly enjoyed being there, as did the fans. One of the best sets of the day came from Deadland Ritual, who played over at the Coors Capital Stage. French metallers Gojira were up next on the Monster Energy Stage, and they put on their usual ultra heavy set, despite playing with the sun directly in their faces. However, it was Japanese metal/pop sensations Babymetal who really seemed to get the crowd going, with many of their uber-fans forcing themselves against the barricades to get as close to the stage as possible. Day two may now have been over, but there was still one more day to go.ĭay three started off with Evan Konrad, Falling in Reverse, and The Crystal Method. Zombie didn’t disappoint, giving the packed crowd every song they could want to hear, including “Living Dead Girl”, “More Human Than Human”, and of course, “Thunder Kiss ’65”, before ending his set with “Dragula”.īlink-182 then took the Monster Energy Stage, also giving their fans what they wanted with “Feeling This”, “The Rock Show”. Stone Temple Pilots and Bring Me the Horizon kept the energy going at the Monster Energy Stage, but then it was time for Rob Zombie to headline the Kolas Stage. At one point Manson gave the middle finger the huge crowd that had come to witness him, saying, “I wasn’t born with enough middle fingers,” before launching into “This Is the New Shit.” ![]() Punk stalwarts Bad Religion delivered one of the day’s best sets over at the Kolas Discovery Stage, and they were followed by the one and only Marilyn Manson. Sum 41 closed out the smaller Coors Capital Stage, while a recently reunited Staind put a wrap on the Kolas Stage, clearing the way for the headliners Slipknot to close out the festivities. Up next was Lamb of God over on the main stage, and the band most certainly did not disappoint, playing a set that was just as heavy as always. Halestorm brought a sea of people over to the Kolas Discovery Stage, and their set was highlighted by the crowd singing happy birthday to frontwoman Lzzy Hale. Back at the Coors Capital Stage, Angel Du$t and Knocked Loose both played heavy sets for those who were looking for a little hardcore action in their day. ![]() Over at the main Monster Energy Stage, Philip Anselmo & The Illegals had the massive crowd singing along to Pantera classics like “Walk” and “F**king Hostile”, while Dropkick Murphys got the crowd moving with their Celtic punk anthems despite the near 90-degree temperature. With a sold-out crowd, as well as some big-time headliners, the bar was set high for the massive rock and metal extravaganza.ĭay one got off to a fast start with both The Pink Slips and Motionless in White among the early performers.
