The gates opened once again at 11am as fans were subjected to an even hotter day than the one before (seriously, it didn’t feel possible – it was hot). Apocalypse Blues Revue from right down the road in Cape Coral kicked off the day with their blues that are definitely not your daddy’s. Red Sun Rising, hometown heroes Trivium, Asking Alexandria, Pop Evil, and Bullet for My Valentine played alternating sets throughout the day as the crowd tried their best to stay hydrated.
Security and bands alike provided water to those in the front of the crowd that were unable (or too stubborn) to go get it themselves. Despite the scorching heat, spirits were generally high among the fans and the heavy metal code of “if you see someone that looks like they need help, help them” was definitely in place.
