Upcoming Major Tours

I'm sure some of you have already heard about Uproar Tour, featuring Disturbed, who is planning on releasing their fifth album this fall. Alongside them will be Avenged Sevenfold, who put on a decent live performance, but are very weak compared the headlining act. Also appearing will be Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor's second band, Stone Sour. I've never seen them live, but they have some notable hits and might be worth catching. New band Halestorm will play as well. They have a good sound and I'm excited about their future in the industry. Vinnie Paul's Hellyeah will be performing, something that isn't worth getting too excited about. I saw them live in December of 2008 and was not at all impressed as most of their songs sounded exactly the same, with no real change in sound. Also supporting is Airbourne, Hail the Villain, and New Medicine.

On a more exciting note for all you Industrial fans out there, rumors are floating around that Rammstein is planning a U.S. tour in September. This is great news since they haven't played in out country since way back in 2004. No definite plans have been made, but I'll be sure to let you know when something comes up!
