Slipknot headlines!
27 January 2012 | By suzi-kazr in Uncategorized | No Comments YetAs unofficially revealed earlier this week, Slipknot will headline the fifth annual edition of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, scheduled to hit the U.S. this summer. Slipknot will share the main stage with thrash metal legends Slayer and a third act rumored to be Motorhead, while supporting acts on the second stage will include Anthrax, The Devil Wears Prada, As I Lay Dying, Asking Alexandria and others. The 26-date trek kicks off on June 30th in San Bernardino, California, wrapping up on August 5th in Hartford, Connecticut.
These shows will be Slipknot’s first in the U.S. since the May 2010 death of bassist Paul Gray and frontman Corey Taylor told Pulseofradio.com they’re the next step in the healing process for the group: “I know everyone’s really looking forward to it, and it’s just one more step towards, couple of years down the road, getting in the studio. So a few more slow steps into the future and we’ll just see what happens.”
Pre-sale tickets will be available on Friday, April 6th, with more ticketing information available at the festival website.
