The Mayhem Festival is a touring metal festival that takes place starting around early July and ending in mid-August. The festival is now a yearly event touring the United States. The Rockstar Mayhem tour is sponsored by the Rockstar Energy Company. It was assembled by Vans Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman, and by John Reese (who is Lyman's partner on the Taste of Chaos tour).[1]
Events
Each year the festival has the Metal Mulisha as a side attraction for the fans to watch. The festival has featured three separate stages each year since the time of its inception: the Main Stage, the Jägermeister Stage, and the Hot Topic Stage (2008-2009). The Silver Star Stage has replaced the Hot Topic Stage as of 2010.[2] Every band that participates on the tour has a public meet-and-greet at scheduled times throughout the day, upon each tour date.
