ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK Marketing Director Mike Kelso states, “Live music is very important to ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK and for the past four years the worldwide success of ROCKSTAR TASTE OF CHAOS has been instrumental in the success of our brand.†We’re really proud that the RTOC has become an important event on music fans’ calendars in the long, cold winter in the U.S. ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK has been a great partner helping us bring fans a great package and a big show at a very fan-friendly entrance price. Tour co-founders, John Reese, Lyman and Darryl Eaton state: “We are very excited about the great bands and concourse activities planned for the 2009 North American Tour. This year, fans can expect a low ticket price (between $20-25 per ticket) as well as the return of the fun-filled concourse offering a bevy of fascinating distractions in between sets guaranteeing that the pandemonium will begin as soon as fans enter the venue. Lyman, who assembles the Warped Tour lineup, goes out of his way to put together a package of punk, hard rock and true alternative acts for the bill.” Last year, the Asbury Park Press praised Lyman for his forward looking approach to the tour, writing: “No wonder the Rockstar Taste of Chaos is known as the ‘Winter Warped Tour.’ Much like the highly successful summer rock jaunt, Rockstar Taste of Chaos is affordable and offers a wide range of bands. And I believe they’re all on the brink of breakout success.†€œAfter listening to what fans had to say during Warped Tour and watching many of these bands with thousands of fans watching them perform,†Lyman explains, “these are the bands rock fans want to see.
In addition, one local Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands winner will open the show at each stop. By taking fan feedback to heart and personally handpicking artists that he feels will be breaking out in ’09, the lineup includes headliner THURSDAY, as well as BRING ME THE HORIZON, FOUR YEAR STRONG, PIERCE THE VEIL (all of whom will rotate their spot on the bill throughout the tour), and CANCER BATS. Tour co-founder Kevin Lyman, always with his ear to the street and his hand on the scene’s pulse, chose this year’s cutting edge lineup after watching many of these same bands explode on the 2008 Van’s Warped Tour. Heralded by Florida’s Backstage Pass as “delivering some of the best known acts in the rock ‘n roll world,” past RTOC performers have included a who’s who of this decade’s most popular rock bands including My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, Rise Against, Deftones, Killswitch Engage, 30 Seconds to Mars, The Used and over three hundred more. Blaring, boisterous and brutal, this year’s tour will be no different. Always an explosive, in-your-face affair, ROCKSTAR TASTE OF CHAOS features today’s biggest and on-the-verge of stardom hard rock bands.
