Ibanez has accidentally revealed that Slipknot will headline the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival this year.
As seen in the video below, an Ibanez staffer was talking about their new Slipknot signature models which guitarist Mick Thomson will be playing on tour.
More information about the official lineup is due to be announced today on January 25, but neither Slipknot nor the festival organisers had previously made an official announcement.
According to the official date page, the Mayhem Festival will tour from June 30 to to August 5, starting in San Bernardino, CA and ending in Hartford, CT.
We can only speculate, but in December we reported on a rumoured tour between Slipknot, Black Sabbath and Metallica in the summer. It sounds like Mayhem fits the bill, though the recent news that Sabbath's Tony Iommi has cancer could scupper plans for a large scale tour.
Watch the Ibanez staffer make the Sliknot slip-up right here:
What do you think? Will we see Metallica sign up for a headline slot, and will Black Sabbath have to cancel their appearance - or was a separate metal tour on the cards?
First mayhem tour started with Slipknot and it was the best year they ever had, Mastodon, Dragonforce,Black tide, Machine Head,and Disturb EPIC line up.
HAHAHA omg im not going, last time they headlined the mayhem fest they got out shined by DISTURBED.... Slipknots drummer can't play his own recorded stuff live, and more than twice the band had to stop midsong because someone ****ed up... Skipknot sucks live, they're a studio band so they're only a half-package. If only a SOLID band would headline, like Opeth (playing their albums previous to heritage lol)

I saw them at the 1st mayhem fest and they did amazing, they didn't mess up a single song everything was spot on except Corey Taylor who was out of breath the whole show.

no. Machine head and dusturbed are only worth here. All others hell no.
don't bring back disturbed, I like them and all but there is no way Megadeth or Godsmack should be on before by Disturbed. I blame all the preteens who love Disturbed. about half the crowd for disturbed under 15 with their moms

there are more maggots than f****ts (like you). slipknot are truly amazing live. get real, moron.
Yeah because Slipknot, Metallica, and Black Sabbath would totally do Mayhem Festival... Metallica and Black Sabbath would never do Mayhem. If anything Black Sabbath would do Ozzfest.

Agreed. I highly doubt that Sharon would let that slide..
I knew this already, some other roomers are Motorhead, SLAYER!!!!!, The Devil Wears Prada, As I lay Dying and White Chapel, Soilwork, that sounds like a ****ing awesome line-up!
I've been hearing rumors of Korn and Slipknot headlining, Five Finger Death Punch (most likely rotating between opening Main and headlining side stages) Anthrax, As I Lay Dying, Whitechapel, The Devil Wears Prada, iwrestledabearonce, Skeletonwitch, Periphery, Asking Alexandria.

Never heard of sliknot... they good?
In my opinion, if u call urself a metal fan, u hav had to listen to their songs... They are like one of the biggest metal bands around and, for the record, they don't suck. Maggot 4 life

Went to the same concert man it was the sickest I've been to you just can't beat a line up with slipknot and disturbed..... If Mudvayne was in the line up it would be perfect
