Well, we knew this was coming, since the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival said the lineup would be announced in March. Since today’s the last day of March, then it was pretty much a lock that the lineup, which had not exactly been a secret, would come out today. And the lineup, which has been shared both by members of Trivium and Korn, doesn’t differ that much from the previously-announced version. In fact, only the only thing different is the addition of Erimha and King 810.
A few notes: It’ll be interesting to see Suicide Silence with Eddie Hermida. Between Body Count, Mushroomhead and Ill Nino, there’s definitely a late ’90s/early 2000’s vibe going on. There’s nothing too surprising about having Avenged Sevenfold and Korn headlining. Those are two pretty solid mainstream headliners that should bring a fair amount of people out to the shows. The lineup is below, as are the dates of the Fest. Tickets will be on sale on Friday (April 4).
