Mastodon going on Rockstar Energy Mayhem Tour

Wonder what this means for Ozzfest considering both tours will overlap.

Mastodon, Slipknot, and Machine Head are enough for me. I'm there.

What the fuck is Mastodon doing on tour with these bands? Slipknot, Disturbed...for real? Come on guys. Do your own tour.

Next time you promote anything that has to do with Rockstar Energy Drink, please take into consideration who owns and profits from the beverage. Here's some information about Michael Weiner (aka talk show radio host Michael Savage).

Whether you promote anything with them again or not, I thought it would be good information for you to have.

Wow, thanks for posting that. Not like I ever drink it, but now I know to stay away from it.

Wow. WOrst Tour Ever.

Who cares, Mayhem is playing!

After 'Blood Mountain' Mastodon did 3 full US tours and directly preceding the release of that album they did the Unholy Alliance tour with Slayer and Lamb Of God etc. Before that they toured relentlessly. I guess they've figured out how big their audience is and how much they stand to make from a headlining, non-festival tour. Mastodon are all in their mid-thirties, two of them have kids, and they claim not to have seen a dime from Relapse from 'Leviathan' royalties. I think it's safe to say they're doing this tour for the money and the opportunity to expand their audience past hipster metal enthusiasts (myself included) and into more commercial metal audiences.

Is System of a Down on the tour? maybe a cage match to close things out?

Carl--

Yeah, I know what you mean. I realize they have to pay the bills and stuff, I'm just kinda bummed that they have to do this crap to do so.

FINALLY! What Ozzfest should've been! Can't wait for July 9th.

Fucken Awsome

Needs a Cleveland, OH date. Maybe Blossom Music Center? This tour is sic!!!!!

slipknot, disturbed, five finger death punch, thats it im going for them..... ps mastadon sucks

finally some kick ass bands come to Pittsburgh

mastodon is one crazy band, that'll be enough for me to go. By the way, what the hell is wrong with Mastodon?

hey you! your dates must be wrong because I bought tix to this very show at nassau coliseum for august 6th, which you have listed as michigan. hmm.

if you pre-order disturbs new album you get a free rockstar lounge pass. google it and make this kick ass tour even better!

what the hell do you mean "providing support for (ugh) co-headliners Slipknot", your fuckin lucky that mastdon is goin on tour with slipknot.

Hey, slipknot needs to hit the BIG TOWN of Billings MT, Ozzy did and you should have seen the turn out for the that, so come to the BIG SKY and get some fresh air slipknot it would be the sickest concert ever lets see if you can live up to Ozzy turn out and don't to forget to bring mastodon

wow! Mastodon should not be touring with these fuck heads!!!

I have to laugh at kids who dis on mastodon. Why does every band have to have some lame gimmick to be "cool"? They're normal dudes who used to rip faces off in atlanta and made it big out of sheer originality and musicianship. They don't need masks, claims of 'insanity' and huge explosives to light up a stage.

and then I realized I'm lecturing 14 year olds over the internet. . .
