The event takes place Sept. 14-15 at Sacramento's Discovery Park, and it will feature such diverse acts as P.O.D., Papa Roach, Megadeth, Korn, and Buckcherry.

Closing out the stage are Avenged Sevenfold, who currently have the No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with 'Hail to the King.' All That Remains, HIM, and Five Finger Death Punch are several of the acts set to perform on the south stage.
