Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival

Headbangers unite. Described as “the world’s biggest heavy music touring festival,” the Mayhem festival is headlined by thrash icon Slayer, and it will combine some of heavy metal’s premier acts all on one stage. Accompanying Slayer atop the festival’s bill is Danish stalwart of the heavy metal scene King Diamond, sharing the lineup in the U.S. with Slayer for the first time. The festival also features the Devil Wears Prada and HELLYEAH among other metal heavyweights. This stop on the Mayhem festival’s summer-long tour will be a day to remember for Colorado’s heavy meal connoisseurs.
