Slipknot, Disturbed, Dragonforce and Mastodon are teaming up to fill the metal void with a new touring package aimed at the Gen Y headbanger. "Ozzfest would draw an older crowd who'd wait in their seats for Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden to come on," Slipknot lead singer Cory Taylor says. "We have a younger crowd, so we're giving them a general-admission pit in front. Nothing gets us off like seeing people lose their fucking minds up front, throwing elbows." The 13-act fest will also feature newcomers like Black Tide, Five Finger Death Punch and Airbourne on two side stages. As the headliners, Slipknot plan on debuting songs off their upcoming album and putting together an elaborate stage setup. "It wouldn't be a Slipknot concert if there wasn't something onstage that could potentially kill us all," says Taylor.
