Brent Smith,
Carnival of Madness is more than a show — it’s an experience. This year, it’s all about reinvention. The culmination of five powerful and dynamic bands joining together to prove to the world that rock-n-roll is alive and well. So, step right up. Come one, come all. The Carnival of Madness has arrived!!!
Papa Roach’s Jacoby Shaddix,
We’re so stoked to be on Carnival of Madness this year. It’s an absolutely killer bill from top to bottom … fans better be ready to get crazy at these shows.” His tourmate, Skillet’s John Cooper, chimed in, “I can hardly wait for the Carnival of Madness. Shinedown is one of the best bands in the business and we’re excited to share the stage with them and great performers like Papa Roach, In This Moment and We as Human. Also, it’ll be our first tour playing songs from our new album, ‘Rise,’ so Skillet will be doing our best to bring the pain every night!
In This Moment,
We are thrilled to be a part of Carnival of Madness this year. Shinedown is one of our favorite bands and it is truly an honor to share the stage with them again. All the bands involved this year bring something unique and exciting to the table, making this a ‘do not miss’ event! We are humbled and grateful that we get to be a part of Carnival of Madness this year, and can’t wait to surprise you with our brand new show this summer!” We as Human frontman Justin Cordle concluded, “I can’t begin to tell you how stoked we are to be on the Carnival of Madness this year. To be able to meet new fans on a tour with so many bands that we’ve admired for so long is incredible. We are ready to do this!
