My guess is it will go Shinedown > Godsmack > Rob Zombie
No way those two open for Shinedown. They are megastars of the rock world, Shinedown isn't on their level as far as recognition and sales.
Of course, just as with EVERY tour, the order will have some to do with what market they are in and what band is more well received in that market. I'm betting Zombie is the last act at every stop though; but I do expect Shinedown and Godsmack to alternate depending on the market.

I thought I read somewhere that Shinedown will be opening the whole tour...not positive on that though!

What I read is that Shinedown indeed does open the whole tour , and that Zombie/Godsmack are co-headliners, which usually means that they alternate nights, either by date or, like Alky said, by market.

Shinedown will definitely be the opener for the entire tour. Though they're billing it as a co-headlining tour, I'd bet that Godsmack plays last at every show. I think their new album is doing quite a bit better than the new Zombie, at least the single has gotten quite a bit more airplay. I may be wrong, but I think Godsmack is considerably more popular right now which is what determines that kind of thing.
What a wicked game to play To make me feel this way What a wicked thing to do To make me dream of you
Hehehe. Did you all know that Godsmack has a song on their new CD called "Shine Down"? Apparently they must be fans of Shinedown, so of course they would want them to open the show.

Is that really what that songs about??? ive never heard it... but if so YaY for Godsmack! Ive also heard that their name came from an Alice In Chains song called God Smack...do we have a pattern going on here??? lolz
Godsmack's song "Shine Down" is definitely NOT about Shinedown!

I found an interview with Shannon Larkin of Godsmack. He said Godsmack will headline all dates. Shinedown will open with a 45 minute set, followed by Rob Zombie who will play an hour and Godsmack will close with a 90 minute set. Im going to the 9/2 show at Nissan Pavilion in DC..anyone with me?
I just found out that my daughter bought me a ticket for the Nissan Pavilion show. I will be driving in from Cleveland. This will be the first time I have heard Shinedown live and am really looking forward to it.

Haha, I'm psychic, I said that's how long each band would play a couple months ago. Should be a good show, though a little expensive.
