Kevin Lyman, the man behind Warped and Taste of Chaos has gone in a decidedly different direction for his new tour, the Rockstar Mayhem tour. Unlike the punk–focused Warped tour or the emo–focused Taste of Chaos, Mayhem looks to be taking on more mainstream hard rock and metal and the opening lineup will feature notorious masked band Slipknot and Finch punchers Disturbed.

The run is expected to run from July to August of this year, which is exactly the same time as Ozzfest traditionally runs. The timing seems more than coincidental in light of the hostility between Lyman and the Osbournes that boiled over last year.
