Live: Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival

by Jen Guyre

Of all the mammoth metal tours vying to fill an absent Ozzfest's spot this summer, none is more likely to dominate than the first annual Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival. Organized by the same folks responsible for the Warped Tour, Mayhem features a well-stocked lineup of mainstays and underground heroes: Slipknot, Disturbed, Mastodon, Dragonforce, Machine Head, Red Chord, 36 Crazyfists, Underoath, Airbourne, Walls of Jericho and more. Plus, there's even a little X-Games action thrown into the mix. Not bad for an inaugural run, huh? Enjoy this Rhapsody photo gallery, Barrage of Bedlam, a blow-by-blow account of all the fest highlights as it hit New York on August 6.
