For the second year in a row, the Rockstar Energy Drink Taste Of Chaos will return to San Bernardino, CA for its annual, day-long destination festival. After a five year break, last year marked the festival's return to Southern California, with over 13,000 in attendance for the all-day event. Taking place on Saturday, July 16 at the San Manuel Amphitheater Festival Grounds, the festival continues to honor the indie-alternative scene's most influential acts, while debuting its next rising stars. Providing attendees a fun day in the sun and the chance to sing along to their favorite anthems, this year's Rockstar Energy Drink Taste Of Chaos Festival promises once again that it is not an event to be missed.

The extraordinary lineup for Rockstar Energy Drink Taste Of Chaos 2016—produced by SGE, 4Fini and Live Nation—includes Dashboard Confessional, Taking Back Sunday, Quicksand, The Get Up Kids, The Starting Line, Saosin (fronted by original vocalist Anthony Green), Senses Fail, The Early November, The Anniversary, Hot Rod Circuit, and Reggie and the Full Effect, with more information to be announced.

Dashboard Confessional's Chris Carrabba says, "I am so happy to know fans are excited about this lineup, but I know I am the MOST excited. Dashboard Confessional gets to play for our favorite people WITH our favorite people. I cannot imagine a better way to spend the summer."

Taking Back Sunday collectively adds, "…it's going to be good to be back in the company of so many bands we are both friends with and fans of."
