2014 Rockstar Mayhem Festival Coming to Mansfield’S
2014 Rockstar Mayhem Festival Coming to Mansfield’s Xfinity Center If you’re looking for a festival to bring out the heavier side of your musical palate, then look no further. The Rockstar Mayhem Festival has 28 shows across the U.S. and parts of Canada, 19 bands performing at most of them, and four stages, and you can find it locally with a show at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, Mass., on Tuesday, July 22, and in Hartford, Conn., at the Xfinity Theater on Sunday, July 27. Headlining the main stage is heavy metal sensation Avenged Sevenfold, with co-headliners Korn, and rounded off by Asking Alexandria and Trivium. With lawn tickets and GA pit admission, there’s a place for anyone on pretty much any budget. With the guys from Avenged Sevenfold fresh off of headlining Download Festival this year, in addition to playing Rock Am Ring and Pinkpop, and completing a nearly year-long world tour in support of their new album Hail to the King, there is no slowing down in sight for them. Their incredible stage presence, blazing guitar solos, fast-paced intricate drumming and impressive vocals will make you a fan if you aren’t already. Hell, when you are gaining respect from heavy metal icons such as Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne), you’re doing something right. Lead singer M. Shadows says their 75- minute set will be “really jam-packed” and that they intend to “blow the place up” and give their fans the full experience with their full stage setup.
