UPROAR Festival
Sleeptrain Amp. Marysville CA October 13, 2011
Second Stage
Main Stage
As in all my reviews if a person facilitated me shooting/reviewing a show I like to take a second to recognize them. So a big Thank You to Kristine for allowing me to shoot the Uproar second stage and giving this website a chance.
The Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival was established in 2010 in the vain of such festivals as Ozzfest, Lalapaloosa and others. The Uproar Fest. features major acts along with providing up and coming bands a stage to showcase their music.These "all day" festivals have gained popularity over the last ten years and are a great way to showcase multiple bands for a great ticket price. I personally love them !
The Uproar has a great set up that you can tell has been perfected in its short time. The second stage area is set up with merchandise, record labels, magazine, and band booths. The great thing about Uproar is the chance to meet the bands of the second stage and get autographs and such. What a great way to promote the whole package.
The road crews were in top form on both stages setting up and tearing down the bands gear with no delay. Pumping the bands through was nice especially since it was hot that day.
This year I caught the tour at the Sleep Train Amp between Marysville and Wheatland. I love this venue !!!!!! It is very easy to navigate and nothing is a major walk to get to. The main floor is open and behind that is seating followed by a lawn area. Really not a bad seat in the place and great sound.
The line up for this tour was another solid one as was last years.
Below are links to a review of each band along with photos of the show.
In closing if ya haven't caught the last two Uproar tours plan on going next summer. You can't go wrong. You'll love the atmosphere, people, and what it's all about "The Music" !
