Also newly confirmed to perform are Motorhead and Rise Against. Judas Priest and H.I.M. are also scheduled to play there.
Rise Against are presently working on their follow-up to 2006's "The Sufferer and the Witness." It will be their first release with new guitarist Zach Blair, who replaced Chris Chasse on tour earlier last year. Although no title or release date for the new album has been set, a summer/fall 2008 release date is expected.
