Canada's Three Days Grace started beating out punk chords and rock riffs when they were in high school in the '90s. Since then, they've sold more than 6 million albums in the U.S. and racked up numerous rock hits, including "(I Hate) Everything About You," "World So Cold," "Just Like You," "Pain," "Riot," "Animal I Have Become," "Never Too Late" and "The Good Life." New vocalist Matt Walst of My Darkest Days joined the band in 2013, and the chart-toppers keep coming. The band's latest singles rock hard: "Human Race," "Painkiller" and "I Am Machine."

California's P.O.D. have championed Christian rock for decades with a unique blend of metal, rock and hip-hop. The band went No. 1 in the early 2000s with their hits "Youth of the Nation" and "Alive," kick-starting a successful career. Their latest studio album, "Murdered Love," dropped in 2013.

Three Days Grace and P.O.D. will be joined by Canadian rockers Finger Eleven and Michigan bands DeverauX, Critical Bill and the Jonestown Crows on July 10.
