Besides music, audience members could spend the afternoon checking out booths and tents in the Village, which offered attendees plenty of opportunities to get distracted and have a little fun. Sobe gave people the chance to make remixes, Blockbuster set up a tent full of X-Box, MLB set up batting cages and pitching cages and of course, there was the second stage. Bands like Funeral For A Friend and Wu-Tang alum Ghostface kept the kids bouncing between sets from the main stage acts.

Less Than Jake: The first band to grace the main stage was Gainesville, Florida’s Less Than Jake. Taking a year off from the Warped Tour, Less Than Jake found a pretty loving audience on the Projekt Revolution tour. Plenty of kids screamed for Vinny, Roger and Chris as they walked across the stage and kicked into All My Best Friends Are Metal Heads.

Not really changing the set up much from their stint on last year’s Warped Tour, the well-rehearsed rockers spent plenty of time hamming it up for the audience and making sure they never stayed still a moment more than they had to. So far this show was off to a good start.

The Used: The second main stage act was The Used. It’s been a while since they released their first album and the wait for the second album is getting a bit long. But, on September 28th, it will hit the streets. This didn’t keep the band from previewing their new single, Take It Away and, of course, hitting old favorites like A Taste of Ink and A Box Full of Sharp Objects.

With a pure insanity lead vocalist, Bert McCracken, threw himself around the stage. Luckily for fans, The Used avoids their softer songs in the live format and sticks with their harder edge numbers to keep the audience and the band in a riotous frenzy for the time they occupy the stage.

Snoop Doggy Dogg: Giant bones hanging from the ceiling, a giant dog house in center of the stage with a DJ on its roof and full backing band, this is what you saw before Snoop Dogg hit the stage. After an extended by his band, a blunt puffing Snoop Dogg stepped from his doghouse to greet his fans. As he handed the blunt off to Soupafly, Snoop kicked into a rock version of Murder Was The Case. The kids in the audience started wrapping along and the party began.

Taking moments between songs to talk to the audience and get the party mood alive and kicking, Snoop showed the relaxed, smooth demeanor that sets him apart from all the other rappers in the game. Rhymes like Lodi Dodi, Gin & Juice and What’s My Name sent the mud-soaked lawn dwellers into a daze as they waved their arms like they were at a house party. Snoop provided a much needed, and much loved, break from the angst of the other bands on the bill.

Korn: It’s been a long time since Korn has stepped foot in Houston…a REALLY long time, so it was no surprise everyone in the audience was buzzing all night about their set. Wondering what they would break out on the audience, waiting to see vocalist Jonathan Davis writhe over his H.R. Giger designed mic stand. As the sun dropped from the sky, they had to wonder no longer.

As the drummer David Silveria began the set with a drum intro, the band kicked into Right Now, the audience responded with a burst of energy that sent everyone in the pit into a frenzy. Davis, sporting a leather kilt, threw himself from one end of the stage to the other. Guitarist Head and Munky flailed around the stage while bassist Fieldy stood firmly over the monitors slapping away at his bass.

The band threw in some key covers with a blend of Shoots and Ladders into Metallica’s One. A cover of all three parts of Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall closed with Goodbye Cruel World, made for a great audience participation parts.

Hits like A.D.I.D.A.S. and Blind set the audience off as the band wound down their set and left the kids with some energy for Linkin Park, who would come up next to close the show down.

Linkin Park: Man, the kids love their Linkin Park. As the lights dimmed, the shrieks of young ladies filled the air as they awaited the band’s arrival onstage. The curtain fell, the lights came up and the band kicked into Don’t Stay. Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda ran up and down the stage giving high-fives to all the people who made it to the front row, which sent many a young lady into hysterics.

With all the ladies going wild aside, the band did all you ask from a headlining band, they ran like mad men, taunted the audience as they performed their biggest songs and left everything on the stage. A 22 song set list displayed the bands willingness to bring it all on the stage and prove to everyone why they’re being called the most promising band in music today.

In a market where many lesser tours are losing out, Projekt Revolution brought it all home with this lineup. There is a reason it is the top grossing tour this year already, it’s quality bands at a reasonable price.
