Monster Energy: Keep the energy up all weekend long! Stop by the Monster viewing deck to refuel and meet some of your favorite Rock on the Range artists! Make sure to check back throughout the festival for a schedule of interactive artist experiences. Most companies spend their money on ad agencies, TV commercials, radio spots and billboards to tell you how good their products are. At Monster Energy, we chose none of the above. Instead we support the scene, our bands, our athletes and our fans. We back athletes so they can make a career out of their passion. We promote concert tours, so our favorite bands can visit your hometown. We celebrate with our fans and riders by throwing parties and making the coolest events we can think of a reality.
