Marilyn Manson, Slayer head Mayhem Festival ‘09

Marilyn Manson, Slayer head Mayhem Festival ‘09

Last year, the Rockstar Energy sponsored Mayhem Festival burst onto the summer festival circuit  with a debut lineup that featured the likes of Disturbed, Slipknot, and Dragonforce. Apparently successful as it was overwhelming, the heavy metal-friendly festival has announced plans for its return in 2009 with a lineup that will slay attendees. Literally.

According to Revolver Magazine, Marilyn Manson and Slayer have been tapped to head the sophomore edition of the Mayhem Festival, which is scheduled to kick off on July 10th in Sacramento, California. Other acts currently confirmed to hit the road under the bill include Bullet For My Valentine, Trivium, Whitechapel, The Black Dahlia Murder, Job For A Cowboy, Cannibal Corpse, God Forbid, All That Remains, and Behemoth.

Currently, the festival’s itinerary includes 27 stops that will keep the music pumping until mid-August. Ticket information is still forthcoming. As always, you can get the full lineup, as well as any upcoming additions, via our Mayhem Festival Outlook page.

  4. suicide silence owned last year and white chapel and job for a cowboy are gonna own this year

  5. LOL @ Manson haters! It’s usually the typical “metal” purist, latent homosexual closet cases who love to say He/They suck.

    Look, when MM is playing, women start to take their clothes off. When BFMV or White Chapel is playing, these guys just wanna whip out their dicks, ram into ppl, and call each other “fag”.

    I know who I’m gonna see.
    I’ll be on the floor…waiting for the panties to drop ;)

  6. this thread is like the stoner section of a high school. a bunch of twats with no future and no taste in music.

    carry on.

  7. Dude wtf. Atr is the fucking best so is trivium killswitch enage slayer all those fuckin bands. Exceped manson fuck that dike. Fuckin slipknot should be her again. They should be here every fuckin year. Atr rocks bitch”

  8. Dudes…. Put a dubbie your mouth shut the fuck up n smoke it! Why can’t we all just be relaxed? Every one knows fuckin Slayer, Black Daliah Murder, Job for a Cowboy, Cannibal Corpse, All that Remains and Behometh are gonna skin some major ass! Manson is a fuckin creeper but his fuckin tunes are kinda fuckin beast n as for BFMV i mean they fuckin blow fuckin giant donkey DICK, only about 3 of there songs have my respect! Any ways bitches its Mayhem its gonna be fuckin sick either way! Its gonna be the dayy were we get to head bang n tell we get fuckin exrtream whip lash n then thrash every one in the pit! See you there! =]

  9. FUCKING SLAYER RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. WTF WHY CANT THEY COME TO UTAH! THE HATERS THAT DONT EVEN APPRECIATE THEM GOING TO THEIR STATE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT WHO IS PLAYING IN THE MAYHEM - WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO TRAVEL MILES ON END JUST TO SEE IT?

  11. United by Hate should be on that tour!

    http://www.myspace.com/unitedbyhatemetal

  12. we are comiong to beat the crap out of everyone who wants to fight in the pit.
    see you there.

  13. this is my first big rock concert i cant wate till the 17th im goin 2 it with my best friend andrew

  14. are these dates wrong? cuz i don’t think they’re coming to toronto…i havent seen it ANYWHERE not even on the website…does anyone know for sure?

  15. wow dude it seems like all people there are just gunna be arguing rather than headbanging and moshing what pussys dude if your harcore dont be a little trash talking faggot just agree tht they are at least ok and deal the fuck with it and headbang instead of crying about not liking certain bands i happen to not like bfmv and like 2 others but im not gunna argue, i dont have to listen to bfmv anyways cuz mushroomhead el be subing for them where im at \m/ but even if i did have to id still deal with it cuz im not a whinning faggot if its metal i headbang and be fuckin happy about it

  16. THE ONLY FUCKING REASON WHY THIS CONCERT IS COOL IS THAT CANNIBAL CORPSE BEHEMOTH AND SLAYER ARE PLAYING EVERY THING ELSE FUCKING SUCKS

  17. Hell yeah, moshpits, i wanna see slayer play raining blood!!!!!!

  18. That’s a pretty tooled line up of bands. I wouldn’t mind seeing Slayer and Behemoth, Cannibal corpse fucking sucks live and same with all those other shitty new wave wanna be death metal bands like Bullet For My Valentine, Trivium, Whitechapel, The Black Dahlia Murder and Job For A Cowboy.

    Those bands attract shitty wanna be death metal kids to the show, if you’re a shitty death metal wanna be kid…I’m going to grab you and stick your head in my dick hole so when my cock constricts your neck, your neck snaps.

  19. Allllright boys…enough with the name calling and the gay band bashing. What are we, 12?

    All of these bands have made a name for themselves that is much bigger than yours will ever be…so deal with your comparable failure and buy tickets if you wanna rock this shit out and have fun. If you don’t like the majority of the bands…don’t go, we don’t want your whining, bitching ass there anyways.

    ~cheers

  20. ok so seriously people really need to stop thinkin they are tough and bashing who is on this tour…nothing you are goin to say is going to change who is on the tour or change the fans minds on their music…ur just goin to get people pissed and yourself pissed so y bother?? and for BFMV…believe it or not they put on a pretty decent show…im not a huge fan of them but ive seen a couple of their shows so yeah…..now with all the manson haters….just stop callin him a fag cuz secretly u wish u could be him haha jk but seriously him and slayer but on a fuckin awesome show when they toured in 07′ so im really excited to see them again..for the person under me…with all that heavy music like gorgoroth and them..that would be a sick ass show…but don’t you think they are more advanced for a different tour than mayhem?? idk i rather see them on another tour.like i love satan tour lol…with all the other bands on the tour…im really happy about it cuz it hits like all the genres of metal so it makes everyone happy lol its gonna be a sick ass show and i can’t wait

  21. only in my opinion behemoth is bad ass well alot of there old stuff before they went death metal cannibal corpse is ok but everything else i don’t like they should have some real brutal stuff like gorgoroth or watain,dark funeral or immortal now that would be bad ass!!!!!!!!!!

  22. whitechapel is the only band good enough to be on a tour, fuck manson, fuck slayer, fuck all those faggity ass bitches, jobs ok, all that remains is good, black dahlias always nice, but all the bitch bands can kill themselves

  23. ok fags… lets not get all anal about which band is better than the other. apparently all these bands are good enough for mayhem so shut the fuck up! Manson is going to kick ass as usual, bfmv is going to fuckin rock , and acknowledge job for a cowboy, cannibal corpse, SLAYER, and all the other kick ass bands that going to be there. so for all the gay as fags who claim to be metal fans but don’t know metal when they hear it.. see your fagot ass in the pit bitch’s!!! ;)

  24. Why all the bashing of this band sucks that band is gay, really who cares the whole point of a concert is to go and have a good time, if you dont care for a particular group go jack off in the bathrooms so others can enjoy the music and others can hear new bands they may have never heard of before. Music is like people everyone has their own individual-ality so let each group have that as well and allow people to judge for themselves, no need to band bash, all music is talent in some shape or form.

  25. BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE IS FXCK!NG AWESOME, k?

  26. Hey COCKSMASHER, you really seem to enjoy talking about the “D” now dontcha. :D

  27. Hey everyone should check out my band on youtube.com. Search “The Forsworn-Jackyl” Comment and let us know what you think. Also check out some Mutant Christ-Outbreak.

  41. FUCK ALL YOU FAGS WHO HATE ON MANSON. YOUR JUST MAD CAUSE HE IS HEADLINING. FUCKYEAH THIS SHOW IS GONNA BE FUCKING SICK. AND GIVE IT UP FOR SALYER, JOB FOR A COWBOY,Cannibal Corpse, AND Behemoth!!!! IF YOU DON’T LIKE THEM, YOU DON’T LIKE METAL. AND FOR ALL YOU MARLIYN MANSON HATERS, SEE YOU IN THE FUCKING PIT BITCHES!!!!!!!!

  42. fuck bfmv bring black tide they were crazy last year

  43. Not like I give a fuck, but Bullet for my valentine was considered good enough by METALLICA to tour with them. So saying they’re not metal is just not true.

  44. lol @ faggy emo/shite metal bands fighting about who’s better.

  45. BRING IT ON PUSSY!!!! im a die hard BFMV fan and i am 6 foot 3 220 pounds and i am ready to fuck ur face up! see you in the mosh pits pussy!!!

  46. any BFMV fan whos going to a show with slayer and cannibal corpse fans is gonna get fucked up

    thats what ill be there to do
    and thats what ill be there to see

    BMFV needs to stick to there own league.. such as warped tour.

    white chapel isnt that great either..

  47. HANDS DOWN……… “FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH” WAS THE BEST BAND ON THE BILL LAST YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  48. Well, Slayer, Manson, Job For A Cowboy, White Chapel. All are good, except for of course, Bullet for my valentine. Fucking pussies need to grow some balls. At least there is no slipknot(My name will tell you this concert isn’t my average one, but its mayhem so you cant miss something like this.)

    Long live Waking The Cadaver, Cock And Ball Torture, Thy Art Is Murder, and many more I’m sure none of you would appreciate the least bit. =D

  49. Fuck bullet, its all about manson. thats the only reason im going.

  50. Dude this shit is going to fuckin insane and if any one is going to the one in st.l im going to tare that shit up its all about blood and and broken bone so see u in the pits. fuckin SLAYER yeah!!!!!!

  51. Fuck the Hot Topic stage, no one wants to listen to that shitty emo bullshit, Main Stage nd Jagermeister Stage r gonna kick ass (xcept Manson, fuck him)

  52. why the fuck no body good come to memphis

  53. SLIPKNOT SHOULD BE FUCKING PLAYING. the rocked the fucking show last year why the fuck wouldent they come back…. and manson sucks dick. i do not want to see the ans he’s gunna bring to mayhem.

  54. BMFV is prolly the most fruity band, there emo and there in a metal concert. All That Remains, Slayer, Manson(so-so), Trivium is so so and the other bands are good but BMFV equals gay, please send them to warp tour well take black tide.

  55. who ever says bfmv is a gay band you wouldnt know good music if it sat on your face

  56. these are the same tour dates, are you sure they are the real ones?? SLAYER!! should be a sick ass show

  57. as a response to “sad” who says
    “um bsides bullet for my valentine (who kicks ass) this is pathetic compared to last year. warped tour way better this year underoath, anti-flag, silverstein, escape the fate(love them), sences fail, black tide, etc.. warped tour would b perfect if bfmv was there…..” sounds like the Mayhem Festival isnt for you. Mayhem festival = metal. IMO bfmv shouldn’t even be there, because nobody wants to hear crying on the mic. Last years concert fuckin owned, this years will be just as good. You should check out “fairy fuckin pussy princess tour 09″ to see the bands you like…. senses fail, silverstein, underoath… I bet you wear girl pants, sneakers, a rainbow fag belt, and pink shirts too…

  58. dude manson sux, but all that remains and manson does not fit in this tour they need out.

  59. um bsides bullet for my valentine (who kicks ass) this is pathetic compared to last year. warped tour way better this year underoath, anti-flag, silverstein, escape the fate(love them), sences fail, black tide, etc.. warped tour would b perfect if bfmv was there…..

  60. Good bands: Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, God Forbid, Behemoth
    Band bands: Bullet For My Valentine, Trivium, Whitechapel, The Black Dahlia Murder, Job For A Cowboy, All That Remains

  61. my gosh theres gonna be the most awesomeness bands there ahh i sooo cant wait til they come to NM oh hellshyeah its gonna be so fucking gnarly as hell!!! XD

  62. Slayer is the only good band playing, so I will only be going to see Slayer. Manson is ok and so is Cannibal Corpse, but the rest of the bands suck. Especially Whitechaple, Job for a Cowboy, and The Black Dahlia Murder.

  63. Fucking White chapel and job for a cowboy dreams do come true

  64. Are You Fucking Serious! i almost cried and jumped off my chair when I found this just now, i will drag my ass to PA to see this. I know it’s goin to be better than last years cuz dragonforce queered up the stage. Love, peace and Chicken grease! fuck dragonforce

  65. SLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  66. Manson is banned from playing in buffalo.

  67. THE BLACK DAHLIA BITCHES!!! And white chapel… Fuck Bullet and Manson

  68. THIS FUCKING CONCERT IS GOING TO KICK ASS.. I FUCKING LUV MARYLIN MANSON

  69. Why in the fuck is there no dates scheduled for NC?!

  70. this is gonna be fuckin epic!
    to bad no MN dates… same with last year there werent either…
    wtf is up with that?

  71. That has to be a typo… the show on 7/11/09… the Shoreline Ampitheatre is in Mountain View, not San Francisco

  72. This years looks deffly better than last years,even though ive already seen almost all the bands like slayer and manson on one tour its going to be epic,i mean Cannibal Corpse with Slayer,not only that Behemoth and Black Dahlia Murder.
    I mean last years was great too but c’mon a true metal fan cannot say this isnt going to be a great tour

  73. who knows these 1 might be the fuck

  74. Yo WTF! No new yorkk!

  75. no new york buffalo darien lake show. last year rocked the front row please come back TO BUFFALO

  76. i guess they’re figuring metro caqn go to Camden and Long Island can go to Hartford instead of playing Nasshole, and the garden would never allow this featival.

  77. Mastodon blew last year though

  78. This actually sounds amazingly mediocre. Last year at least had Mastodon.

  79. no newyork? srs?

  80. Kind of funny, Slayer and Manson played Cleveland on July 31st in 2007.

  81. It’s effin’ Slayer! So there.
