So, Mayhemfest has anounced this years line-up and it’s a doozie! Slipknot, Slayer and Anthrax are all featured on the mainstage. With Anthrax and Slayer coming off this years Big 4 Show, both bands have been playing Road Warrior, being on tour and all. Funny, we interviewed The Devil Wears Prada a couple of weeks ago, and they did make a mention of the band working on a tour they couldn’t elaborate on…now we know what it was. Check out the rest of the bands below.

Here’s the official press release right here…

The main stage for this summer’s Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival will feature Slipknot, Slayer(pictured below) and a major special guest which will be announced on March 5th. The fourth slot on the main stage will feature a rotation of The Devil Wears Prada, As I Lay Dying and Asking Alexandria.

In 2012 the tour has upgraded the production on the festival stage and this year the Jagermeister Stage will feature a special headline set by Anthrax supported by a rotation of The Devil Wears Prada, A I Lay Dying and Asking Alexandria, along with Whitechapel, High On Fire and the Jagermeister opener. Please note that bands may vary per market.

Mayhem will kick off the 26 date trek across the U.S. beginning on June 30th at the San Manuel Amphitheater in San Bernardino, California and ticket sales kick off on April 6th with the GET OFF YOUR ASS pre-sale ticket promotion.
