Shinedown will headline the first-ever Carnival Of Madness Tour. The band will play 30 dates all over America and will be joined by Chevelle, Puddle Of Mudd, Sevendust, 10 Years and two other bands still to be named. All the bands on the bill share the same management group, and both bands and organizers promise a completely new concert experience.
"
I think this tour is going to be very prevalent in the summertime,"
Shinedown singer
Brent Smith tells Noisecreep.
"It's not like Crьe Fest, and we won't always be an anchor. The reason it is called 'Carnival of Madness' is a kind of tip of the hat to us because of [our album] 'The Sound of Madness.'
"It won't be like Ozzfest of Crьe Fest or when Disturbed did 'Music as a Weapon' or Mayhem Fest or even Warped Tour. When you get into the festivals where you get like 20-plus bands, it can be a mind-altering deal. I'm not a big fan of the 20-band festivals. It's a long damn day."
