SLIPKNOT, KORN, GODSMACK, MARILYN MANSON, SLAYER Set For CAROLINA REBELLION

A spectacular lineup including some of the biggest names in rock has been announced for the fifth annual Monster Energy Carolina Rebellion, set to take place May 2-3, 2015 at Rock City Campgrounds at Charlotte Motor Speedway just outside Charlotte, North Carolina.

The mid-Atlantic's biggest rock festival will feature performances from SLIPKNOT, KORN (marking a highly-anticipated return to Carolina Rebellion after their onstage reunion with band-member Head in 2012),GODSMACK, MARILYN MANSON, SLAYER, SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY AND THE CONSPIRATORS, RISE AGAINST, SAMMY HAGAR & THE CIRCLE (Michael Anthony, Jason Bonham and Vic Johnson),BREAKING BENJAMIN, BUSH, and many more top rock bands. (See below for daily band lineup.)

Corey Taylor of SLIPKNOT says, "We are very excited to be headlining Rebellion this year! We're honored to be playing in the company of CHEAP TRICK, one of my all-time favorites, as well as playing with such good friends like KORN, HALESTORM and SLAYER!"

"Three years ago, we reunited with our brother Head on stage at Carolina Rebellion. Since then, we made a new album and toured the world together. And now we're back to perform our first album in its entirety. Rebellion is going to be a really special show for us," says Jonathan Davis of KORN.

"Playing with a band like THE CIRCLE, we've got a set list made in Rock N' Roll Heaven and a band from Rock N' Roll Hell," says Sammy Hagar. "The only missing link is tens of thousands of rocking fans… HELLO CAROLINA!"

"For the 5th annual Monster Energy Carolina Rebellion, we wanted to acknowledge not only the best in current rock with the likes of SLIPKNOT, GODSMACK, BREAKING BENJAMIN and more, but also celebrate some great iconic rock bands like SAMMY HAGAR & THE CIRCLE, CHEAP TRICK, SLAYER and others to give the Rebels the widest range of Rock N' Roll possible,” says co-executive producer Gary Spivack of RockHouse Presents. "Rebellion is truly the Carolinas' biggest music party of the year!"

Based on the festival's success in 2014 — with over 60,000 fans in attendance and camping and VIP packages sold out — the 2015 Monster Energy Carolina Rebellion concert site will be expanded and will feature a fourth stage for band performances.

Monster Energy returns as the festival's title sponsor and will be on site conducting giveaways, hosting Monster Energy artist signings, and offering Monster Energy Drink samples.
