Jackson fans rejoice—the third annual Mayhem Festival kicks off July 10 in San Bernadino, Calif. Before the madness is over, the nation’s largest summer metalfest will have infected 26 U.S. cities (and a Canadian one) before concluding Aug. 14 in Oklahoma City.

Jackson signature favorites participating in the triple-stage sonic festivities include Lamb of God on the Main Stage and Hatebreed on the Jägermeister Stage.

Mayhem’s Main Stage also features co-headliners Korn and Rob Zombie, and Five Finger Death Punch. Silver Star Stage acts are Atreyu, Norma Jean, In This Moment and 3 Inches of Blood; other Jägermeister Stage acts joining Hatebreed are Chimaira, Shadows Fall, Winds of Plague and each city’s battle of the bands winner.
