Armed with a brigade of rock, metal and electronic talent, Orion Music + More festival kicked off its weekend-long festival at Belle Isle in Detroit on Saturday (June 8), with Red Hot Chili Peppers closing out the evening.

There are an incredible amount of hard rock and metal music festivals held worldwide as the summer season stretches from May to September. There's Mayhem, Rock on the Range, Reading, Leeds, Download, Hellfest, Wacken and Bloodstock, just to name a few. But for connoisseurs of punk rock who are looking for a major festival, an incredible lineup has just been put together for the 2013 Amnesia Rockfe

For a band like Rise Against, the creative process is always ongoing, but frontman Tim McIlrath says that it may actually be a little while before we hear from them again. The singer tells Rolling Stone that the group wants to "recharge" a bit before starting in on a new record.

Rise Against got a little help from a couple of friends for a star-studded rendition of the Bruce Springsteen song ’The Ghost of Tom Joad’ in Anaheim, Calif., on Saturday night (Sept. 29).

Although MTV has been taken over by ‘Jersey Shore’ and ‘Teen Mom,’ the ‘M’ once stood for music and the 2012 VMA Nominations honoring the best in video making are in.

Rise Against are well-known for the politically infused messages within their music. Having developed their own sound combining hardcore punk with a pop sensibility, the underlying essence of Rise Against’s social and political activism-through-sound has resonated with millions of fans worldwide.

We recently reported dates for the first leg of the 2012 tour featuring A Day to Remember and Rise Against, with openers the Menzingers. Dates for the second leg of the North American trek have now been announced, with Title Fight taking over for the Menzingers in the opening slot.

Rise Against are hitting the road with special guests Bad Religion and Four Year Strong for a North American tour. The tour kicks off on April 5th in Las Vegas, NV and will hit major markets across the United States throughout the spring, including two nights at New York City's Terminal 5 in early May.
