Eddie Trunk’s got a new festival, “Exit 111” in Manchester, Tennessee, and the lineup is STACKED!
Announced Tuesday morning, Guns N’Roses, Def Leppard and Lynyrd Skynyrd will headline the inaugural festival, which takes place on the same grounds as Bonnaroo, but 4 months later in October. (So don’t worry, Bonnaroo is still a thing and staying put.)
Trunk teamed up with C3 Presents and AC Entertainment to produce the three-day festival, which also includes: Slayer (their last show EVER in Tennessee), Megadeth, Seether, Black Label Society, Black Stone Cherry, ZZ Top, Ghost, Mastodon, Gojira, Cheap Trick, Blackberry Smoke, Nothing More, The Fever 333, Deftones, Coheed and Cambria, Lamb of God, Alter Bridge, Minstry, Skillet, Of Mice & Men, Thrice, and DOZENS more!
The festival also promises to have an R-rated paranormal cirque, car show, motocross demos and “mega sports bar.”
Trunk and festival producers have also teamed up with Shaun Morgan of Seether, and his “Rise Above” charity for a signature stage. “Exit 111” will also donate $1 from every ticket sold to Suicide Awareness Voices of Education (SAVE).
Weekend passes and single-day tickets go on sale on Thursday (April 25) at noon ET, with a pre-sale open now through Wednesday (April 24) at 11:59 p.m. here.
And if you’re as curious as I was about what the hell an “R-Rated Paranormal Cirque” looks like, check out the teaser below.
