Illinois nu-metallers Mudvayne are back from a 12-year hiatus!
The band have just announced that they'll be performing at all four Danny Wimmer Presents U.S. festivals exclusively this year (Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival, Louder Than Life, Aftershock and Welcome To Rockville), marking their first shows since 2009.
"In our fan surveys, Mudvayne has consistently been one of the most requested bands – even though they weren’t an active band!" explains Danny Wimmer. "We’ve been working for years to make this happen, so when I got the call that they’d finally take a meeting, [DWP Executive VP & Talent Buyer] Gary Spivack and I jumped at the chance to fly to Vegas.
"We sat down for dinner with Mudvayne, their lawyer Eric German, manager Diony Sepulveda and agent Ryan Harlacher – the band hadn’t even been in the same room together for 10 years – and pleaded our case for why the time was right for this to happen. We were hoping to announce this in 2020, we’re fortunate enough to be able to do it in 2021, and DWP is super pumped to have Mudvayne exclusively at all four of our festivals this year."
