King Diamond went into a bit more detail, stating that: “This is going to be one hot and hellish summer. Slayer and King Diamond on the same stage — it does not get more devilish than this! We will be putting on a one-hour set with the full King Diamond stage production.”
The Rockstar Mayhem Festival has become a yearly tradition for metalheads since its first incarnation in 2008. Anyone who’s anyone in hard rock and metal, from Asking Alexandria and Trivium to Godsmack and Disturbed has graced the tour with their presence, and this year looks to have arguably the most brutal lineup yet.
