CHAOS brings Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, more much metal to Edmonton
If it wasn’t the Summer of Metal in Edmonton already what with Ozzy, Maiden and Priest on their way, the Chaos Alberta festival will put it over the top.
Alberta’s newest rock festival, taking place July 26-27 at Kinsmen Park, features two titans of modern metal: Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson. Slayer will be playing their last ever show in town – this time for sure. Also on the bill peppered with local talent are Disturbed, Headstones, GWAR, Animals as Leaders, One Bad Son, Royal Tusk, Light the Torch, The Dirty Nil, and Selfish Things.
Tickets are $180 for a two-day pass, $290 for a VIP pass, and go on sale Friday, April 5.
Do any local music people remember Nhaelan McMillan? The longtime Edmonton hard rock fan and his partner Harvey Cohen started promoting small shows as Union Events, back in the day, sold their company to Live Nation – and now Nhaelan is Live Nation’s Vice President in charge of Talent. Of this festival, he says in a statement, “Every aspect of the maiden year of CHAOS AB is built on the vision of bringing a high-quality rock event to the people who live and breathe this lifestyle every day. We promise to deliver the ultimate rock experience right here in our own backyard.”
