Taste of Chaos has been called the "Winter Warped Tour" since dates ran from October (internationally) through April (in North America) of the next year.

In 2010, Taste of Chaos founder John Reese stated that although the tour was successful internationally, it had "run its course in America" and would be replaced by the Uproar Festival.

Uproar will feature hard rock bands and will begin shortly after the heavy metal tour Mayhem Festival in August 2010.

It was at a Taste of Chaos show in Orlando, Florida, that Fueled By Ramen representative John Janick first saw Paramore, which led to them signing their first major recording contract.

They were judged by the founders of TOC and by a group of representatives from corporate sponsors such as Ernie Ball Inc., PureVolume, Guitar Center, and Rockstar.
