\"\"The biggest rock festival in the US will be entering its second decade in 2017. The 11th annual Rock On The Range will take place May 19th, 20th and 21st at MAPFRE Stadium in Columbus, OH. Rock On The Range is known for raising the bar each year and this one is no exception. Thrash metal forefathers Metallica are the big addition this year and are sure to make this year\u2019s Rock On The Range an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n
