Road Warriors 48

They must not have been able to come up with a name for this festival, because they called it Give It A Name. The festival takes place in London in May, and headlining it will be rock bands Paramore and 30 Seconds to Mars. More acts will be announced soon.

Speaking of festivals, My Chemical Romance and the All-American Rejects will play the Bamboozle Left festival on April 5 in Irvine, California. Other acts include Paramore, New Found Glory and the Starting Line.

You metal fans will be thrilled that the third installment of the Gigantour Festival is back and will kick off April 12 in Denver.
