TASTE OF CHAOS Featuring DEFTONES, AS I LAY DYING, ATREYU: Tour Dates Announced

December 1, 2005

After 37 packed dates across the United States and Canada last winter, followed by an equally successful international run which hit England, Scotland, Germany, Australia and Japan, the Taste of Chaos tour is back with another onslaught of winter shows in the United States and Canada, featuring a who's-who of young, loud, aggressive bands.

Kevin Lyman, the brainchild behind the Vans Warped Tour, has once again created a model for more-bang-for-your-buck. Lyman says, "Our goal is to give fans a six-hour arena show with a multimedia experience of live music and activities for under $30 bucks." The tour is scheduled to hit 46 cities in the U.S. and Canada between mid-February and mid-April. The multi-artist package in the U.S. will feature headliners DEFTONES alongside THRICE, ATREYU, STORY OF THE YEAR, AS I LAY DYING, DREDG, SILVERSTEIN, FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND, THE RECEIVING END OF SIRENS, PELICAN, THE CONFESSION, ADAIR, STREET DRUM CORPS, GREELEY ESTATES, MILLIONAIRE, THE SMASHUP and other special musical surprises to be announced. THURSDAY will replace STORY OF THE YEAR for the Canadian portion of the tour.

Rockstar energy drink has signed on to be the title sponsor of the 2006 tour and will be sampling their products, as well as coming up with some great surprises for attendees. Nintendo has returned as a second year sponsor so that fans can play the coolest new Nintendo products and games in special gaming kiosks that will be set up at each venue. Other sponsors include Best Buy, Hot Topic and Ernie Ball (who will provide musical instruments for fans to test out). Fuse Television, MySpace.com, Alternative Press and Revolver have signed on as official Taste of Chaos media partners. Internet pre-sale for the 2006 edition of Taste of Chaos will begin December 2 at tasteofchaos.ducatking.com. Fans can check in at www.tasteofchaos.com to get continuous updates regarding the tour.
