Black Tide To Play At First Annual Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival
BURBANK, CA – Organizers of the first-ever Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival have announced dates, venues and on-sale information for the highly anticipated all-star thunderfest. Multi-platinum rock acts Slipknot and Disturbed will lead the much-buzzed-about amp-shattering road show, which will feature hard music’s most influential bands and its new wave of heavy-hitting acts. The tour is set to kick off July 9 at the White River Amphitheatre in Seattle and will hit Live Nation Amphitheaters in 30 cities in the U.S. and Canada between July 9 and August 19, 2008.
Fans can purchase tickets beginning April 4 at 10AM local venue time via the Official Mayhem Fan Community website. Pre-sale orders also allow fans to hear tracks from Mayhem bands, receive early entry venue passes, purchase a discounted subscription to Revolver magazine and receive a Mayhem t-shirt. In addition, pre-orders enroll fans into a contest offering one grand prize winner an electric guitar and two meet & greet passes to get the six-string signed.
Fans that pre-register to be a part of the Mayhem Fan Community before April 4 can purchase tickets upon immediate availability. And by pre-registering, they’ll also be entered into a contest to win a merch pack featuring CDs from every band on the tour.
Tickets go on sale nationally beginning April 19. You can get more information at the Mayhem Festival website or the Live Nation website.
In addition to Slipknot and Disturbed, the main stage features Dragonforce and Mastodon, as well as a Jägermeister second stage with Machine Head, Airbourne, Five Finger Death Punch, Walls of Jericho and the Jägermeister Battle of The Bands Winner. There will also be a Hot Topic Stage featuring Underoath, Black Tide, Suicide Silence, The Red Chord and 36 Crazyfists.
The World’s Greatest Freestyle Motocross team The Metal Mulisha is also confirmed to perform on all dates.
