The 2018 Rock on the Range at MAPFRE Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, wrapped up last night (May 20) with an epic performance by Tool -- which Maynard James Keenan dedicated to the friends and family of Chris Cornell -- closing the three-day rock and metal festival. Cornell was on the minds of many performers and fans: Friday night was the one year anniversary of his passing. Saturday night would have been the one year anniversary of Soundgarden headlining the 2017 Rock on the Range festival. Alice In Chains, who headlined Friday night, paid tribute via their set-closing Soundgarden covers, "Hunted Down" and "Boot Camp."

The weekend was one long highlight, other than the massive delays due to the threat of thunderstorms on Saturday, but sets by legendary bands including A Perfect Circle, Stone Sour, Godsmack and Stone Temple Pilots made up for it. It wasn't just about veterans: Code Orange, Power Trip, Fever 333 and Baroness were among some of the other highlights. Greta Van Fleet's set seemed to be the talk of the festival on Friday, and Sunday morning kicked off with the one-two punch of Them Evils and Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown. All three bands highlighted the fact that not only is rock alive and well, but so is rock and roll; these groups aren't about furious thrash or punk-inspired metal; their reference points predate either of those movements.

Them Evils was one of the bands who had to adjust their schedule due to the delays; instead of playing midday Saturday, they were moved to Sunday at noon on the main stage. From Ashes to New had a different experience; their full set was abbreviated to just fifteen minutes. Frontman Matt Brandyberry told us, “The passing storms tried to keep us off the stage, but it will take a lot more than that to stop From Ashes to New. Huge thanks to everyone that worked so hard behind the scenes to get us on stage when it seemed almost hopeless. Although our set was short, we are grateful we had the chance to play for all of our amazing fans who stuck it out!”

Besides music, the festival offered an impressive lineup in the comedy tent; Curb Your Enthusiasm's JB Smoove leveled the joint on Saturday night, with an amazing set that saw him planking on stage.
