Also scheduled to perform this year are Theory of a Dead Man [Nothing Could Come Between Us," "No Surprise," "So Happy"] who played both EDBD XII and XIII. Fans who attended EDBD in 2006 will remember one of the highlights of the show was when Theory of a Dead Man's frontman Tyler Connolly joined Shinedown on stage for an unforgettable version of "Heroes." Tyler hinted in an Interview with us a repeat performance could be in store at EDBD XV.
