Rockstar Taste Of Chaos Returns

• 2nd Aug 2010

The Rockstar Energy Drink TASTE OF CHAOS is set to take over the UK once again this autumn. This is the sixth year of TASTE OF CHAOS and by far, the most exciting line up yet! The trek will feature high voltage performances from multi-platinum heavyweights DISTURBED and PAPA ROACH along with BUCKCHERRY and HALESTORM. The heavy-hitting UK tour will begin December 7th in Birmingham and wrap up on December 13th in Nottingham.

Grammy nominees DISTURBED are one of the biggest rock bands in the world. Not only have their last 3 albums gone straight in at #1 on the US Billboard charts, they have also sold over 11 million albums worldwide. Disturbed release their highly anticipated fifth studio album Asylum on Reprise Records on August 30th. The first single “Another Way To Die” immediately jumped to #1 on the US Billboard’s Active Rock chart making it the quickest single to reach #1 in over three years. The band will also headline the inaugural Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival this August in arenas and amphitheaters throughout North America.

“We in Disturbed are chomping at the bit to get in front of the UK crowds again and we are bringing plenty of talent with us! This year’s Taste Of Chaos will truly be an event to remember.”– David Draiman

PAPA ROACH have sold over 10 million albums worldwide spawning hits such as “Last Resort” and “Scars” among others. Their latest album Time for Annihilation…On the Road and On the Record will be released on August 30th through independent rock label, Eleven Seven Music. The record will consist of a mix of live and studio tracks.

“We are excited about going back to the UK on this tour. The crowds are always rowdy and sharing the stage with Disturbed will be an awesome experience. Taste of Chaos has been going strong for a while now and we are honored to be part of it.” – Jacoby Shaddix

Grammy nominated hard rock band BUCKCHERRY will release their fifth album All Night Long through Eleven Seven Music on August 2nd. The band is currently previewing each track from the new album on link. Before they hit UK shores, the Los Angeles rockers will embark on a nationwide US tour this September supporting Nickelback and Three Days Grace.

HALESTORM released their self-titled full-length in 2009 on Atlantic Records. The band will be performing on the main stage on the Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival with fellow Taste of Chaos band Disturbed as well as Avenged Sevenfold and Stone Sour this August.

The ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK TASTE OF CHAOS started as a North American tour in 2005 and has evolved into the only worldwide rock music festival tour. Since its inception, RTOC has hit over 23 countries and millions of fans including the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Mexico and many more.

John Reese (Taste of Chaos co-founder) states: “All of these bands all kick major ass. I am very good friends with Disturbed and so proud of their massive achievements. We have successfully engaged amazing bands to make the tour bigger and better every time we go out. This year promises to be no exception and we are very excited to reach the overseas fans once again.”

Mike Kelso Director of Marketing for Rockstar Energy Drink quips, “We are thrilled to continue bringing the rock to the other side of the world.
