Rumors

MAYHEM FEST 2010 Headlining Band Rumors Begin

Posted on November 19th, 2009

mayhemfestIt's not even January and already word is leaking out about headliners for the biggest summer festival around, Mayhem Festival.

Current KORN drummer Ray Luzier let the cat out of the bag during a recent interview and revealed that his band would be headlining the summer festival. Meanwhile, ThePRP is reporting that Rob Zombie will headline the festival as well, which makes perfect sense seeing as though he is about to put an album out.

Meanwhile, Jamey Jasta was a little more subtle about HATEBREED being on the bill. When speaking to Metal Mark, he said "We're gonna be on a very big summer tour, which I just can't say just yet, but most people will probably guess." Now, he could also mean Ozzfest, which is rumored to be returning next summer.

How do you guys feel about these initial announcements? Who would you like to see on the bill?

    I think there should be another Sounds of the Underground! But I think that the lineup should include:

    Unearth
    Between the Buried and Me
    Every Time I die
    Shadows Fall
    The Black Dahlia Murder
    Mastodon
    All Shall Perish
    As I Lay Dying
    Born of Osiris
    The Red Chord
    Lamb of God
    Darkest Hour

    Now that would be awesome!

    For The Record I Believe Mayhem Festival Should Be More Brutal When It Comes To Bands Like Last Year When They Had CANNIBAL CORPSE & BEHEMOTH

    So Since Everyone Else Is Putting Down Suggestions Then So Shall I:

    NECROPHAGIST

    DYING FETUS

    OTEP!!!!

    IN FLAMES

    SOULFLY

    SOILWORK

    ABORTED

    DIMMU BORGIR

    DARK TRANQUILLITY

    and for a good laugh put in DETHKLOK

    umm…. There's more great bands…. Hmmm… Let's See Here….

    HAMMERFALL

    ARCH ENEMY

    AMON AMARTH

    ANAL CUNT & GOBLINCOCK would be awesome if they were there.

    And since my minds a blank at the moment…I Have No Ideas Left….

    Bands Above me are good.

    Nighty Night….

    put opeth on this bill and i'll be happy



  18. 's Avatar RampinUp46 says:

    Korn is most likely going to do Family Values 2010, so this may be false. My ideal Mayhem lineup would be:

    *Main Stage*

    Any of the "Big Four" (Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, or Slayer)
    Children of Bodom
    Rammstein
    Dethklok

    *Hot Topic Stage*

    Darkest Hour
    Dirge Within
    Otep
    Behemoth
    Lamb of God

    *Jagermeister Stage*

    Mastodon
    (Jager band)
    GWAR
    High on Fire

    suicide silence
    before their eyes
    bleed from within
    the red shore
    the red chord
    uneath
    bullet for my valentine
    ABBACAB
    the acacia strain
    all shall perish
    liferuiner
    the black dahlia murder
    bury your dead
    carnifex
    chelsea grin
    despised icon
    i declare war
    the faceless
    impending doom
    napalm death
    OCEANO

  22. 's Avatar BlindGuardian93 says:

    Im not mad about Rob Zombie or Hatebreed playing it both can hold their own unlike Manson last year but WTF is with Korn being in the festival let alone a headliner thats bull in my opinion.



  23. 's Avatar BlindGuardian93 says:

    I was originaly hearing rumors of Megadth co-headlining with Rob Zombie which would have been great but now korn? thats just upsetting



  24. 's Avatar BlindGuardian93 says:

    Megadeth*



  25. 's Avatar kill_em_all17 says:

    no, instead, let me suggest some good bands:

    main stage: judas priest, megadeth, mastodon, shadows fall, meshuggah

    2nd/3rd stage: in flames, lamb of god, converge, children of bodom, job for a cowboy, behemoth, bleeding through, the acacia strain, darkest hour, shai hulud, parkway drive, the dillinger escape plan, in this moment, black dahlia murder, the red chord

    and i know this is a long shot, but Sunn O))) would be fucking amazing, especially at night.

    Well at this point Warped Tour is goin to be better than mayhem, because Warped is supposed to have Suicide Silence, Emmure, Haste The Day, and Whitechapel, Alesona, Bring Me The Horizon, Emarosa, and Pierce The Veil. Rob Zombie shouldn't be the guy head lineing at Mayhem, im alright with Korn. But where is the shower i want some Mushroomhead as the Headliner or some1 who is goin to be crazy and bite the head off a bat or something. Some of the bands that i would really like to see there would be..
    Mudvayne
    As I Lay Dying
    Lamb Of God
    A7X
    Mushroom Head
    Suicide Silence
    Devil Driver
    Korn
    System Of A Down
    All That Remains (again)
    In Flames
    and no emo bands because i don't want any1 doing that stupid 2 stepping danceing i think it's stupid… but i would like to see a wall or death or 2!
    and SLAYER SUCKS i can't believe any1 would want to go see them, only old people like them.
    THEY SUCKED, MM DID A BETTER JOB OF PUTTING ON A SHOW. THEY CAME ON PLAYED THEIR SONGS AND LEFT WITHOUT SAYING A WORD TO THE CROWD!! MM had a really funny rant when he said Chicago starts with a C just like sesame street!

  36. 's Avatar The Sinister Urge says:

    well korn definitely don't make sense, since it has already been confirmed that the family values tour is happening. so if they are at mayhem it's going to be for only a few dates.

    telling u mayhem is going down the drain slowly sucks ass fuck it



  42. 's Avatar MetalheadPsycho says:

    I would love to see newer bands on the tour as far as the secondary stages go, I mean, a lot f these bands have worked hard and if everyone had their way, Mayhem would be a 3 day Festival or something. I've been to Mayhem the past two years, and it was a great experience, last year bands that came to my town went to Mayhem. I'm really looking forward to who is going this year, and no matter who is, I'm going because i'm sure i'm going to enjoy everyone show that every band plays.
    Also, heard that In This Moment was going. Really hope it's true. :D

    You people have to be deaf. I no korn isn't really Hard metal but their good as hell. and anyone that says otherwise might want to get there ears checked. Rob Zombie is one of the greatest bands that are out there. Your just pissed because his ass can make movies and still sing. And I whent last year and manson was great. He just didn't play his more popular songs. They've always been good. Next your going to tell me that godsmack and disturbed wouldn't fit in neither. I no their not going to be there but still. There godsmack is post grundge and disturbed is hard metal but they both make slow songs. All of these bands are good. All of you that hate rob zombie and korn are just fucking nuts.



  55. 's Avatar xXGoddessOvChaosXx says:

    They need to bring back the good shit!!
    Behemoth, Cannibal Corpse!! Come on!! That was fucking awesome last year!
    I suggest they get some GOOD bands to play again.

    Behemoth
    Cannibal Corpse
    Deicide
    Dark Funeral!!!
    Goatwhore
    Sepultura
    Yes, Dethklok
    Meshuggah
    Slayer was good
    Kataklysm
    Gojira
    Hypocrisy
    Emperor
    God Dethroned
    DevilDriver
    Arch Enemy
    Dimmu Borgir
    Amon Amarth
    Nile
    Necrophagist

    Bands like that!! Come on Mayhem fest!! Live up to the title!! People don't want to pay a lot of money to see only one band that they like, then have the rest bore them to death.
