The Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival has built up a reputation as the world’s biggest hard and heavy music touring festival in just six years.
Five Finger Death Punch is one of the headliners at this year’s Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival.
And this year’s lineup is no different.
Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, Mastodon, Amon Amarth, Machine Head, Children of Bodom and Behemoth are just a few of the big names with the festival.
The traveling festival will make a stop in Albuquerque on July 6 at Isleta Amphitheater, formerly Hard Rock Casino Albuquerque Presents the Pavilion.

Four stages will be presented this year for the first time : the Rockstar Energy Drink Main Stage, the Jagermeister Stage, the Musicians Institute Stage and the Sumerian Records/Headbang For The Highway Concourse Stage, (Local bands performing on the Sumerian Records/Headbang For The Highway Stage will be announced in June).
Other bands scheduled to perform include Job For A Cowboy, Emmure, Born Of Osiris, Motionless In White, Butcher Babies, Battlecross, Huntress, Thrown Into Exile And City In The Sea.
A rock icon and auteur filmmaker with insight and unlimited vision, Rob Zombie has continuously challenged audiences as he stretches the boundaries of music, film and publishing. Now, the seven-time Grammy-nominated recording artist releases his fifth solo album, “Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor,” which will be released April 23. The first single from the album is ” Dead City Radio and the New Gods of Super Town.”
After three gold albums in a row and 10 consecutive top 10 radio singles, Five Finger Death Punch continue their evolution in 2013 by releasing a new single in early May, followed by their fourth studio album in June.
The world’s greatest freestyle motocross team The Metal Mulisha is also confirmed to perform on most dates.
In addition to catching their favorite bands live, fans can take part in a number of festival activities, including playing the newest video games, perusing vendors, attending autograph signing sessions and a slew of various interactive activities that will only add to the festival experience.
