Check out the bands that will be playing at Monsters of Rock 2013.
The 5th edition of Monsters of Rock already has several international acts confirmed, according to Wikimetal:
On the first day of the festival, October 19th, Slipknot, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Killswitch Engage, Hatebreed, and Gojira will perform.
On the second day, it will be the turn of Aerosmith, Whitesnake, Ratt, Buckcherry and Geoff Tate's Queensrÿche.
The event will feature 2 stages, and the idea is that the festival will not be limited to just the concert days. Starting in August, for example, there will be the "Monsters of Rock Band Challenge," which will select bands to participate in various events.
During the festival week, there will also be screenings of rock films and a gallery with objects from other editions of the festival.
Read the text about the first edition of Monsters of Rock in Brazil.
Monsters of Rock was created in 1980 by promoter Paul Loasby who, along with Maurice Jones, wanted a festival featuring only Hard Rock and Heavy Metal bands. The chosen location was a race track in Donington Park, located next to the village of Castle Donington in Leicestershire, England.
The success of Monsters was so great that it has already had around 50 editions in 15 countries: Germany, Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Spain, USA, France, Netherlands, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Russia and Sweden, in addition of course to its country of origin, England.
Kiss, Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden , and Slayer have all headlined the festival in Brazil.
