Then came front row for Seether…
Then to finish the night, Korn and Stone Sour, who recently played together at the BB&T on 7/26!
Brent saw local boy Christian Martucci on the vibrant stage filled with wacky-wavy-inflatable-tube-dudes!

Day two of the Rise Above Fest started with Hellyeah!
Chad Grey definitely wins outfit of the festival with his trademark blood-stained ensemble. Vinnie Paul is also in the running for coolest kit.
Brent got to snap a photo with Dustin Bates of Starset before they went on. Directly following them was All That Remains.
Theory of a Deadman went on at 6:30, followed by Halestorm on the main stage at 7:35! But before they went on stage they each had time to catch up with Brent!!
If you thought Brent couldn’t get any closer to the action… think again–
