There's a  good reason why many across the world call Tampa the death metal capital of the world.  Between our massive, local metal scene, accommodating venues both big and small, and the plethora of metal bands that make their way through the Tampa Bay area, this hard rocking genre and our awesome Tampa Bay community are a match made in heaven.

Which could easily be part of the reason why the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival is making a summer stop at the 1-800-ASK-GARY Amphitheatre on Friday, July 13.  This all-day festival is gearing up to unleash hours upon hours of live rock and metal on two stages throughout the Amphitheatre.

Featured acts at the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival will include Anthrax, Slayer, Slipknot, Motorhead, High on Fire, Dirtfedd, Asking Alexandria, Upon a Burning Body, As I Lay Dying, The Devil Wears Prada, and I, The Breather playing on the main and side stages beginning at 1 p.m.

Tickets to the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival at the 1-800-ASK-GARY Amphitheatre range in price from $25.50 for lawn seats to $64.50 for standing room only tickets.  Those looking to go all out can purchase special VIP tickets which include reserved seating, early entrance into the venue, an assortment of Mayhem Fest swag, and more.  VIP tickets to the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival are $200.
