Rockstar Mayhem Festival Is Br00tlz

I have no idea when this was announced, but the Rockstar Mayhem Fest looks pretty decent. Granted I’ll be at the beer tent for all most of the show, they managed to pull some heavy ass bands along on the same tour. Notable acts include The Red Chord, Mastodon, Machine Head, Dragonforce, Slipknot and my personal favorite, Underoath.

Still, some of the other acts are really out of place. Disturbed managed to get the direct support spot, but I guess I can’t complain too much as someone who still digs Slipknot. From the press release:

BURBANK, CA – March 17, 2008 – ROCKSTAR ENERGY MAYHEM FESTIVAL announces
today that hard-hitting metalcore band UNDEROATH will headline the HOT TOPIC STAGE at
this summer’s highly anticipated tour, set to kick off July 9th at the White River Amphitheatre in
Seattle. The much-buzzed-about tour will hit 30 cities in the U.S. and Canada between early
July and late August. A full itinerary will be announced on April 1 with the festival’s Pre Sale
commencing on April 4 and the national on sale to commence on April 19.

Underoath joins an all-star lineup that includes main stage
closer SLIPKNOT, DISTURBED, DRAGONFORCE and MASTODON and a plethora of hard
music’s most influential artists and exciting young voices. The tour will have two second
stages: Underoath will headline the HOT TOPIC STAGE and MACHINE HEAD will
headline the JAGERMEISTER stage. The second stages will also feature BLACK
TIDE, SUICIDE SILENCE, AIRBOURNE, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, 36 CRAZY
FISTS, THE RED CHORD, WALLS OF JERICHO and the JAGERMEISTER Battle of The
Bands Winner.

Tour title sponsor ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK, who will be offering product samples and
providing great surprises for attendees, will also be presenting the VIP area THE ROCKSTAR
LOUNGE where a national contest will take place, and fans can PARTY LIKE A ROCKSTAR in the
VIP area. Details for this special promotion will be forthcoming and can be accessed at

Festival organizers have also announced that world famous freestyle motocross team METAL
MULISHA—known for its lineup of legendary riders—are joining the riotous road show,
performing three backflip-laden sets at each date in the festival area. “The Rockstar Energy
Mayhem festival combines the best bands in extreme music with the Metal Mulisha rebels,” says
freestyle Motocross legend Brian Deegan. “They’ll be mixing the sound of riffing and ripping
250CC motorcycles flying 150 feet in the air against the backdrop of double bass drums and
shredding guitars.”
