Dayton, OH (Top40 Charts/ Live Nation) - We're just over two weeks away from the start of the ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL featuring KORN, ROB ZOMBIE and a plethora of hard music's hottest and heaviest acts. Ticket sales for the Live Nation promoted tour are already 29% higher than what they were this time last year, with fans gearing up for the July 10th launch date at the San Manuel Amphitheatre in San Bernardino, CA.
Fans also have only 7 days left to take advantage of Live Nation's "No Service Fee June" promotion. Tickets for "No Service Fee June" are available only at LiveNation.com until 11:59 pm ET on Wednesday, June 30.
This year's Mayhem lineup sees KORN and ROB ZOMBIE joined on the main stage by LAMB OF GOD and FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH. The JAGERMEISTER stage will feature HATEBREED, CHIMAIRA, SHADOWS FALL and the JAGERMEISTER Battle of The Bands Winner.
Lifestyle clothing brand Silver Star Casting Company has been announced as the sponsor of the second stage, which will spotlight ATREYU, NORMA JEAN, IN THIS MOMENT, WINDS OF PLAGUE and 3 INCHES OF BLOOD.
"We are stoked to be part of this year's Mayhem Festival," says Silver Star Owner and CEO Luke Burrett. "Music has always been one of our driving passions and we are really excited to be sponsoring our own stage this year."
"Luke and Charisse Burrett have built a great lifestyle company in Silver Star," says Mayhem co-organizer John Reese. "Like Mayhem, Silver Star is a trusted brand, making this an ideal partnership."
In addition to hours of speaker-shredding excitement, the Mayhem festival features METAL MULISHA, the World's Greatest Freestyle Motocross team, and BEACHER'S MADHOUSE, a sexy costume party combined with outrageous variety acts, beautiful dancers, scantily-clad Beacher's Babies, DJ's and so much more. Comedian Jay Oakerson (seen on Comedy Central) will also be on hand to deliver an onslaught of unbridled awesomeness and raunchy rock n roll comedy.
"We're now in our third year of Mayhem and we're not only surviving, we're thriving," says Mayhem co-organizer Kevin Lyman. "By keeping ticket prices down and featuring bands that haven't over-toured, we're providing fans with value for their dollar. Each given show features more than 9 1/2 hours of entertainment."
