What will he sing?

Well, we can safely assume he's playing Slipknot and Stone Sour material. It would be cool if he played some Tenacious D, since he has a D tribute band. Some Antrax would be nice, too, as he almost fronted them.
I'm curious about the backing band...

I was actually excited this weekend when I saw that they'd release the lineup, date and whatnot. But, I am very disappointed. 3 of the Main Stage bands are from the 2nd Stage last year. Way to be original. I was excited, but not so much anymore. Corey Taylor is the wild card. I have a deep respect for him as a singer/performer for Slipknot and Stone Sour. I want to catch Burn Halo, The Parlor Mob, Dope, Corey Taylor and Shinedown. Everyone else can get fucked in the ass with a red-hot poker...slowly.

I'm always somewhat disappointed with Rock Fest's lineup. I went last year for STP. It's a very commercial rock radio station that puts this show on so therefore they appeal more to that audience. But it's still the coolest radio station in Kansas City, for its music and DJs.

I had pretty much decided not to go this year, because they always have the same bands every year. Seriously, how many times does one need to see Shinedown. They really need to shake up the mainstage lineup.
But changed my mind when they announced that Corey was going to be there solo. That should be interesting. They interviewed him and said that he'd be doing some Stone Sour, some solo songs, and some covers. Almost sounds like a DumFux show for a bigger crowd.
Also looking forward to seeing Dope. Will have to look up some of those other 2nd stage bands, haven't even heard of several of them.
