Bad Omens, Parkway Drive, Architects and more for returning Mayhem Fest

Mayhem is back – in a big way!

The iconic heavy metal bash is set to make a one-off comeback in California this year, before reportedly resuming its usual travelling status in 2025. For this big return – the first Mayhem since 2015 – they’ve got Bad Omens in as headliners, topping the bill at the Glen Helen Amphitheater in San Bernardino on October 12.

Elsewhere the line-up features a host of brilliant bands and artists, including Parkway Drive, Architects, Jinjer, Poppy, Kittie and August Burns Red (who will be playing Constellations), as well as System Of A Down’s Shavo Odadjian playing his first show ever with Seven Hours After Violet.

You will also be able to catch We Came As Romans, Suicide Silence, After The Burial, Hanabie, Throwdown (first California show in 13 years), Born Of Osiris, MOTHICA, Peyton Parrish (first-ever West Coast show), Darkest Hour, Unearth, Brutus, It Dies Today (first West Coast show in over a decade) Escuela Grind, Holy Wars and Roman Candle.
