One of North America's most iconic touring metal festivals is set to make its triumphant return later this year, as it has been officially confirmed that Mayhem is back and is packing a stacked, metalcore-heavy bill. Headlining the first Mayhem event in nine years, which will take place at the Glen Helen Ampitheater in San Bernardino in California on October 12, will be modern alt-metal heroes Bad Omens, who were recently forced to cancel their summer UK and European dates due to singer Noah Sebastian’s “extreme burnout”.
Joining them will be Aussie metalcore titans Parkway Drive, UK metalcore heavyweights Architects, Ukraine's premier metal crew Jinjer, nu gen trailblazer Poppy, nu metal favourites Kittie, plus August Burns Red, Shavo Odadjian's Seven Hours After Violet, We Came As Romans, Suicide Silence, After The Burial, Hanabie, Throwdown, Born Of Osiris, Mothica, Peyton Parrish, Darkest Hour, Unearth, Brutus, It Dies Today, Escuela Grind, Holy Wars and Roman Candle.
