Rockstar Energy Drink has launched a second summer tour. This one, called Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Fest will feature DISTURBED, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, STONE SOUR, & HALESTORM on the mainstage with AIRBOURNE headlining the second stage. Look for that to hit the First midwest Bank Amp on August 21st.
Speaking of festivals . . . OZZFEST returns this year with a 6-city tour later this summer. Joining OZZY on the bill will be ROB HALFORD,
MOTLEY CRUE, DEVILDRIVER & NONPOINT. BLACK LABEL SOCIETY will headline the second stage. That show hits the First Midwest bank Amp on August 17th.
Rumor has it that former ANTHRAX screamer Joey Belladonna is talking to the band about re-joining them for the “Big-4″ European tour with METALLICA, MEGADETH, & SLAYER. I’ll keep you posted.
BUCKCHERRY just released a new single via their website. It’s called “All Night Long” and is the title track for their upcoming release due later
this summer.
After a 17-month hiatus, SCARS ON BROADWAY featuring former SYSTEM OF A DOWN members John Dolmayan & Daron Malakian jammed at the Troubadour in New York. They were joined by System bassist Shavo Odadjian for 2 songs during the encore.
And finally . . . SLIPKNOT percussionist Clown says he wants to run for a political office once the band is done… most likely Mayor.
