Wait, wait, wait. I don't think Sevendust was part of the Victorious Sky tour with Skillet. The way I recall it and I went to the first show of the tour in Raleigh, NC when it was AB (by themselves as headlining) and the openers were 10 Years and Dirty Honey and I know Dirty Honey was the opener for the co-headlining tour with Skillet.

Anywho, to add to the list.

Fall 2013: Shinedown, Halestorm
Fall 2011: Black Stone Cherry, Theory of a Deadman (co-headlining Carnival of Madness in the States, but Theory was an opener in the UK shows), Adelitas Way (only for the Carnival of Madness tour)

Some of the early tours were silvertide and submersed.

The early shows I saw had Another Animal opening and some smaller bands - 2007? I think on the ABIII tour in 2010 it was Like A Storm and Taddy Porter. They did a small festival in Upstate NY where they opened for Godsmack with Sevendust, 12 Stones, and Nonpoint. I saw one show in Massachusetts where it was Adam & Eve, Landsdowne, and Emphatic. I would have to go back and look at few of the tickets I purchased for dates and to confirm.

The first time I saw them in October 2010, a Dutch band called 'My Favorite Scar' opened for them in Brussels.

Early years had Submersed (of course), Future Leaders of the World, Crossfade... I went to so many shows on the ODR/BB cycles, can't believe I'm totally blanking on those eras openers.
