The Uproar Festival, also called the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival, was an annual hard rock and heavy metal tour inaugurated in 2010 by John Reese and sponsored by Rockstar Energy Drink. The tour was also created by John Oakes, Darryl Eaton and Ryan Harlacher from the Creative Artists Agency, and Perry Lavoisne from Live Nation. Reese is also responsible for creating Mayhem Festival and the Taste of Chaos tour. Uproar Festival is the replacement for Reese's Taste of Chaos tour, as he was "running out of bands that fit within the profile of what Taste of Chaos was."
Uproar Festival hosted a number of other activities other than live bands, such as autograph signings, the Miss Uproar contest, and giveaways.
John Reese has stated, that for the first time since 2010, that the festival shall not take place in 2015 or 2016. The festivals' website has had activity as of October 2016, it was nearly two years since the website has updated there site. There was rumors back in 2015 that Resse planned to do an Uproar Festival with Pantera as headliner, but that was not a possibility.
