The festival also features performances by Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch and many more.

Featuring on-site camping, VIP packages and a lineup featuring today's biggest rock bands, Monster Energy's Carolina Rebellion—celebrating its second consecutive year at Rock City Campgrounds—has quickly grown to be the Carolinas' Biggest Weekend of Rock in four short years.

The daily band lineup for the fourth annual Monster Energy's Carolina Rebellion is:

"The Zombie crew is super-stoked to be heading down to the Carolina Rebellion this year," says Rob Zombie. "We are ready to throw-down a badass Zombie party for all the Rebels. See ya there."

"This festival has become one of the biggest in the country," says Five Finger Death Punch's Zoltan Bathory. "We have a ton of fans in the Carolinas and the crowds there are nothing short of legendary."

"We're excited to play Monster Energy's Carolina Rebellion for the first time," says 311's Nick Hexum. "Looks like a cool festival. We'll be rockin' tunes from our new album plus 311 classics. See you there!"

All tickets will go on sale Friday, January 31 at 10:00 AM ET, including Camping, Hotel and VIP Packages, as well as Weekend 4-Packs and upgrades. All Camping and Hotel Packages will include access to the Friday night campground party. As in the past, ticket discounts will also be available for active military.

"We learned a great deal last year and have made some important improvements to the site, to better protect us from the elements," said Joe Litvag, Co-Executive Producer of the festival. "Not to mention this bill is stacked with incredible talent, bringing our Rebels the biggest and best rock festival to ever hit the Carolinas."

During Monster Energy's Carolina Rebellion, bands will perform on one of the three festival stages: the "Carolina Stage," the "Rebellion Stage" and the "Jägermeister Stage."
