Slayer, King Diamond, Hellyeah, The Devil Wears Prada to Play 2015 Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival

The world’s biggest heavy music touring festival, the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival enters its eighth year with another fantastic heavy metal and hard rock line-up, featuring 13 bands performing on the Rockstar Energy Drink Main Stage and the Victory Records Stage.

The band will be supported on the Main Stage by KING DIAMOND, HELLYEAH and THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA. The Victory Records Stage will find WHITECHAPEL, THY ART IS MURDER, JUNGLE ROT, SISTER SIN, SWORN IN, SHATTERED SUN, FEED HER TO THE SHARKS, CODE ORANGE and KISSING CADENCE all rocking the festival, as well.

SLAYER guitarist Kerry King states: “I don’t know if third time will be a charm, but it will definitely be hellish! SLAYER and KING DIAMOND on stage for the first time together in the States. NEVER has Mayhem been more evil. DON’T FUCKIN’ MISS IT.”

King Diamond adds: “This is going to be one hot and hellish summer! SLAYER and KING DIAMOND on the same stage — it does not get more devilish than this! We will be putting on a one-hour set with the full KING DIAMOND stage production. As for a set list, I’m not gonna reveal that here, but it will be built around ‘Dreams Of Horror’. The Puppet Master will be there with Grandma, and we will even go as far back in time as to 1777 (hint). You’re all in for one hell of a show if you come to this Sabbath!”
