Festival season just got a great new addition, as a number of top rock bands will add San Antonio to their itinerary in late May. The inaugural Bud Light River City Rockfest will take place on the grounds of the AT&T Center in San Antonio on May 26th with Guns N' Roses and Alice in Chains serving as the day's headliners.

In addition to the two major acts, Bullet for My Valentine, Skillet, Halestorm, Asking Alexandria, All That Remains, Clutch, The Sword, Young Guns, O'Brother, Heroine and Memory of a Melody round out the bill.

The event will feature multiple stages, a VIP area, various concession vendors and a Grammy Museum exhibit. It's been conceived as South Texas' largest festival event.

General admission and VIP packages go on sale this coming Friday (March 22) at 10AM local time, with the pre-sale starting on Wednesday (March 20). For further information on ticketing, please visit the festival's website here.
