I couldn't see Sabbath playing the Mayhem festival. They'd bring back an Ozzfest if they were going to do something like Mayhem... I know there were rumors of Rammstein but that isn't happening apparently. This is a mystery alright...

Yeah it isn't any older ones(Sabbath, Maiden, Priest, AC/DC) and Rammstein definitely isn't happening, real head scratcher

I am waiting to confirm my info. Someone who works for the tour is talking with me and told me I had 3 out of the 4 mainstage bands correct. Waiting on a reply to find out which one is not (I think its 5FDP) and find out who the headliner is. Bare with me...

That would make the comments about a side stage band in 2008 confusing, I feel like Zombie would still be last because I can't think of any non US bands that big

I wonder if the side stage comment was misunderstood or if things have changed? Anyways, I updated the first post to include a few things I am slowly finding out. While I don't know it to be a sure thing, I believe 5FDP will be on Uproar Fest.

I'm not counting 5FDP out, back in 2010 John Reese said he wanted them to headline the whole thing one day

I think 5FDP is more suited for the FM rock radio crowd right now and that falls in line more with Uproar, which at this point is actually the bigger festival; last year they had 2 stages compared to 1 for Mayhem Fest. Plus 5FDP on Mayhem would be a repeat but on Uproar its a different crowd of hard rock music fans who enjoy more modern bands as compared to most metal fans who prefer the classic bands of metal minus a few modern metal bands like Slipknot, LoG or KsE.

Yeah but look at Disturbed and Godsmack(among others) did both and in Disturbed's case they went back to Mayhem after Uproar, and 5FDP did a massive run last summer with metal bands(mostly)


So it won't surprise me if they're on Mayhem

A7X/Zombie would be much better.
