The Rockstar Energy Uproar Festival was a prominent summer tour that showcased hard rock and heavy metal from 2010 through its final edition in 2014. Built by a collaboration of industry players including John Reese and John Oakes of SGE, along with CAA’s Darryl Eaton and Ryan Harlacher and Live Nation’s Perry Lavoisne, the festival was sponsored by Rockstar Energy Drink. Kicking off in Minneapolis on August 17, 2010, the festival quickly became a marquee event for fans of powerful guitars, driving rhythms, and high-energy performances. Although the festival has not announced new dates since 2014, its impact on the rock festival landscape remains notable for its blend of well-known headliners and regional battle of the bands opportunities that offered up-and-coming acts a chance to join the tour on select dates.
