Verifying Yahoo.com’s rating as the #2 “Best Summer Tour of 2012”,
the ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL kicked off this
weekend to a record-breaking start—over 26,000 heavy metal headbangers attended
the tour kick-off in San Bernardino on Saturday, July 30th alone!
That is over 4,000 more attendees than the previous record. Overall during the
entire first two days, the festival brought 42,000 fans together to celebrate
heavy metal, making this year the biggest yet for the world’s largest touring
heavy music festival. Check out the first
official tour update now at the official
YouTube page, hosted by 2012 ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL correspondent

“After the
first two dates of Mayhem, we have set an all-time attendance record at our
first show in San Bernardino (26,150) and a record attendance at day two in San
Francisco (15,850),” confirms ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL co-creator
John Reese. “Mayhem is off to a rip roaring start and we look forward to a
great year with an awesome lineup of artists.”

“What a
sick show to kick off Mayhem 2012! I counted 13 pits during Indians!!! SoCal
always brings it,” states ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian. “If
this is any indication of how this tour is going to be, it's going to be a
great summer!”
"We've
been looking forward and counting down to Mayhem for a while now, especially
since we've wanted to be a part of the tour for the past few years,” states THE
DEVIL WEARS PRADA vocalist Mike Hranica. “The tour kick-off was great
and I'm very excited to finally be playing Mayhem rather than just talking
about it!”
“The first
day of Mayhem was awesome,” adds WHITECHAPEL guitarist Alex
Wade. “It feels great to be on this amazing tour again and to see old friends
and make new ones.”
