WE DON’T KNOW WHO IS PLAYING MAYHEM FEST 2012, BUT WE DO HAVE TOUR DATES…
Yep yep. In a most highly unusual move, the organizers of Mayhem Fest — the clear successor to Ozzfest — have announced the itinerary for the 2012 edition of the tour… despite the fact that the line-up won’t be revealed until January. I suppose they’re worried about you making plans for next July and August, although what kind of metalhead makes plans that far in advance? I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing five minutes from now, let alone next July.
ANYWAY, the dates are after the jump. We can dissect the line-up when it’s announced next year, but I will predict right now that Gloria Estefan will headline, with support coming from Josie and the Pussycats, Kraftwerk, and Coal Chamber. Sounds legit, right?
