If there’s one thing metalheads and hip-hop kids can agree on, other than loud music and certain illicit substances, it’s Rockapalooza. Last month, the the franchise celebrated its fifth anniversary with a show in Jackson, Mich., and on Sept. 8, the festival returns with Rockapalooza Ohio: Back to College Jam, a daylong mix of beats and riffs headlined by metalcore heavies The Devil Wears Prada and rapper Machine Gun Kelly.
Others bands scheduled to take the stage at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds in Middleburg Heights, Ohio, include Attack Attack!, Texas in July, Ionia, Ghosts of August and Fallen Captive. Joining them will be such rappers as Twista and Wu-Tang crew member Inspectah Deck. Check below for a full list of artists.
Tickets range from $30 for general admission — $40 the day of the show — to $100 VIP passes, which get you access to autograph tents and half-price drinks in the VIP lounge.
The Devil Wears Prada released a live CD/DVD, Dead & Alive, last June 26 via Ferret Music. One of these tracks is titled “Vengeance” The video below for that song was filmed last December at The Palladium in Worcester, Massachusettsduring the first leg of The Devil Wears Prada’s ongoing “Dead Throne” tour.
