Official Mayhem Fest Thread

Iced Earth filled in The Regency pretty well on their co-healining tour with Symphony X. Quite a few people left after IE played.

My first choice was Rammstein, GWAR, Suffocation, Overkill and Vision Of Disorder

After you guys clicked on the Done button after submitting band suggestions for next year, did it take you to the Mayhem Fest home page?

Rammstein and GWAR seem the most likely out of all of them. The former has more draw power, but would only play if the fest pays far out the ass for them, and the latter has a good draw and could probably headline the Jager stage if marketed correctly.

Since Mayhem basically turned into Warped Tour this year (aside from Anthrax, Slayer & Motorhead), I would love next year to be filled with doom, gloom, heaviness & crushing riffs.

Main stage
Rammstein
Alice In Chains
Ghost
Down

Sidestage #1
Saint Vitus
Candlemass
Electric Wizard
Cathedral

Sidestage #2
Ahab
Kyuss Lives
Sleep
Woods of Ypres

So all the side stage bands would get to play 2 songs at most?

Not only that but AIC is the only band they listed that will be able to sell tickets. If that was the lineup three quaters of the audience would leave after them. I hope Rammstein does get the closing spot on mayhem next year. Just so all the people who harp about what a live draw they are here in the US can shut up when they realize nobody gives a shit they're headlining the tour.

hahaha this. Not a single one of those bands would ever play Mayhem either.

They should try to get Dying Fetus to play sidestage. I could see it. Or get BDM to do it again.

They only draw in major markets (on their last tour, anyway)

Pollstar's biannual tour stats came out a few weeks ago for tours taking place between 1/1 & 6/30. Rammstein's average attendance for their "Made in Germany" North American tour was slightly under 5,000 people.

Saw them on 4/29 at the DCU Center in Worcester. There were well over 10,000 people there.
