The big daddy of them all is the Rockstar Mayhem Festival.
This festival has been around since 2008 and always boasts some of the most
popular heavy metal acts around. This year the festival will take place solely
in July and August.
The Mayhem Festival will have four stages this year, giving
more bands than ever before the opportunity to perform. The main stage will
consist of Avenged Sevenfold, Korn, Asking Alexandria and Trivium. Meanwhile
the side stages will have tons of other groups, the most noteworthy ones being
Cannibal Corpse, Suicide Silence, Body Count and Emmure.
Suicide Silence and
Body Count are bound to be highly anticipated since Suicide
Silence hasn’t toured much since their original vocalist passed away, and Body
Count hasn’t been actively touring in a long time. Those two bands alone are
bound to draw hordes of fans to the ever popular music festival.
Trespass America is the second big traveling US heavy
metal festival. The festival is organized by Metal Hammer and Five Finger Death
Punch. FFDP always headlines the tour and brings along some other popular
mainstream metal groups. The tour made its first run in 2012 and it looks to be
back again this year. If you’re a fan of Five Finger Death Punch, keep on the
lookout for dates and supporting acts.
If mainstream metal isn’t really your thing, Summer
Slaughter is going to be the festival that you are going to want to attend.
Summer Slaughter began in 2001, but wasn’t that successful. It was brought back
in 2007 and has continued every year since. The tour is known for
boasting popular underground metal acts that are particularly brutal. Death
metal is their specialty. The bands and dates of the festival have not yet been
announced for 2014. The tour’s Facebook page has been teasing bands a lot
recently, though. Expect an announcement rather soon.
