In addition, Hard Rock International is kicking off the final round of its Ambassadors of Rock Battle of the Bands competition, which chooses an up-and-coming American rock band to perform at the festival.
A panel of distinguished judges, including E Street Band guitarist Little Steven Van Zandt, former Run-DMC member Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, and SPIN magazine Editor Doug Brod, have hand-picked five bands from more than 150 entries to compete in the final round. And now it's your turn! Head over to Hard Rock's official site to cast your vote for the most deserving group -- but hurry! Voting ends June 6.
