Tweet

The first dates for the highly anticipated CARNIVAL OF MADNESS tour are out now, so stop what you’re doing, which is reading this, go buy some tickets, brag to all your friends, and then come back and finish. We’ll wait.

Sponsored by – you guessed it – Monster Energy, CARNIVAL OF MADNESS is returning at the end of summer with hardcore, multi-Platinum SHINEDOWN, along with fan favs PAPA ROACH, SKILLET, IN THIS MOMENT, and WE AS HUMAN.

The tour starts on August 11 in Asbury Park, New Jersey and stomps its way across North America all the way into September.

VIP ticket pre-sales for these shows are now available to the “Shinedown Nation,” SHINEDOWN’s exclusive fan club. For more information about VIP pre-sale packages and “Shinedown Nation” membership, please visit the band’s official website, www.shinedown.com.

SHINEDOWN makes their triumphant return to the CARNIVAL OF MADNESS after headlining the 2010 inaugural launch, with a lineup that also included Sevendust, Chevelle, Puddle of Mudd, and 10 Years. The first CARNIVAL OF MADNESS proved to be one of the biggest tours of the summer, heralded as a Top 50 tour by Pollstar. Last year’s trek featured Evanescence, Chevelle, Halestorm, and New Medicine.

What the bands are saying about CARNIVAL OF MADNESS:

“CARNIVAL OF MADNESS is more than a show-it’s an experience,” proclaims SHINEDOWN frontman Brent Smith. “This year, it’s all about reinvention. The culmination of five powerful and dynamic bands joining together to prove to the world that rock-n-roll is alive and well. So, step right up. Come one, come all. The CARNIVAL OF MADNESS has arrived!!!”

PAPA ROACH frontman Jacoby Shaddix says, “We’re so stoked to be on CARNIVAL OF MADNESS this year. It’s an absolutely killer bill from top to bottom…fans better be ready to get crazy at these shows.”

“I can hardly wait for the CARNIVAL OF MADNESS,” says SKILLET lead singer John Cooper. “SHINEDOWN is one of the best bands in the business and we’re excited to share the stage with them and great performers like PAPA ROACH, IN THIS MOMENT, and WE AS HUMAN. Also, it’ll be our first tour playing songs from our new album, RISE, so SKILLLET will be doing our best to bring the pain every night!”

As IN THIS MOMENT declares, “We are thrilled to be a part of CARNIVAL OF MADNESS this year. SHINEDOWN is one of our favorite bands and it is truly an honor to share the stage with them again. All the bands involved this year bring something unique and exciting to the table, making this a ‘do not miss’ event! We are humbled and grateful that we get to be a part of CARNIVAL OF MADNESS this year, and can’t wait to surprise you with our brand new show this summer!”

WE AS HUMAN lead singer Justin Cordle agrees, “I can’t begin to tell you how stoked we are to be on the CARNIVAL OF MADNESS this year. To be able to meet new fans on a tour with so many bands that we’ve admired for so long is incredible. We are ready to do this!”
