There’s a couple of kick ass metal shows coming up in the next few weeks at Jiffy Lube Live and DCHeavyMetal.com wants to make sure as many of you can go to these shows as possible! Rockstar Energy Drink’s Mayhem Fest is headlined by Rob Zombie this year and will be at JLL on Wednesday, July 24th and we’re giving away a pair of pit tickets to it! Ozzy Osbourne is back with Black Sabbath and they’re coming to JLL on Friday, August 2nd and we’re giving away a pair of seated tickets to that show as well! To enter: Just leave a comment on this post telling me which concert you want to go to and why. You can enter for both if you want, but you can only win tickets to one of the concerts. On Friday, July 19th at 5pm EST I’ll use Random.org to select 2 winners, one for each show, to win a pair of tickets to the show they chose. Make sure you enter in a valid email address you check regularly when you submit your comment so I can contact you if you win, though it doesn’t need to be in the comment itself. Don’t worry, I won’t add you to any email lists or sell your info, I hate spam too. If I don’t hear back from a winner within 24 hours another winner will be chosen. If you can’t wait to see if you win the tickets, or the contest is over when you read this, you can buy tickets to Mayhem Fest here and Black Sabbath here. Now here’s a little more info on each show…
This year’s Mayhem Fest will have over 18 bands playing on four stages! On the main stage you’ll find Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, Mastodon and Amon Amarth, the last of which will be bringing a giant viking ship on stage (you can catch a glimpse of it in the video below)! But don’t think there aren’t any bands worth seeing on the other stages. Machine Head, Children Of Bodom, Job For A Cowboy, Battlecross, Huntress, Scorpion Child and many more are going to be tearing it up on those stages as well. It’s going to be a hell of a day for metal!
Just last month Black Sabbath put out their new album 13 (read our review of it here), the band’s first full length with Ozzy Osbourne since 1978! The godfathers of heavy metal will be playing their classics along with some of the new material for a show that is going to please metal fans young and old. I’m not sure what else I should really write here, it’s fucking Black Sabbath, if you’re a metal head then you need to be there!

Mayhem Festival!!! Because I love Mastodon!!!
I need some Black Sabbath cause I’m old school like that!
Black Sabbath. This could be one of the last opportunities and I don’t want to miss out on it.
I want to go to Black Sabbath because Black Sabbath!!!!!!
Sabbath, because Sabbath.
Mayhem, because I’m broke and Mastodon NEVER gets old!
Voting Sabbath because you can’t have too much Ozzy.
Black Sabbath!
I want tickets to Sabbath because, even though they Kerry King-ed Bill Ward out of the band, I want to witness this band work their magic in front of my eyes!
Sabbath because I want to hear Never Say Die and/or Supernaut.
Black Sabbath. I feel it’s the last time I’ll have the chance to see them.
Mayhem Fest ’cause I’ve never seen Rob Zombie live.
Sabbath, ’cause Ozzy can’t live forever.
Black Sabbath, Because i have cancer. and i’ll die a week after the show :(
Black Sabbath because why would anyone choose Mayhem over Sabbath?
You can choose both!
Black Sabbath because it’s F’in Black Sabbath, and the new album is pretty great as well.
Hey Chris. I’m going to make this short…..the reason i want to go to Mayhem fest is simply for Amon Amarth. I always wanted to see them as a kid and i will be the happiest dude in the world if i could see them! I want to see the synchronized headbangers of MELODIC DEATH METAL! Thanks!
Black Sabbath, because it’s Black Sabbath.
I would love to see Sabbath because when I was in the third grade (in 1979) hearing Iron Man for the first time changed my life. They are the godfathers of metal.
I would also love to see the Mayhem festival because of Amon Amarth, COB, Scorpion Child and my buddy Jimmy from high school who is a roadie on the tour.
I want it all/// I want it all/// and I want it now…!
Black Sabbath cause I want to take my dad!
Equally I would like to go to Mayhem fest to get nutty in the pit!
I’d like to win the Mayhem fest tickets because I love metal festival concerts!
Black Sabbath! Ozzy rules!!
BLACK SABBATH, cause who knows when any of them may kick the bucket :(
BLACK SABBATH!!!! Because August 2nd is my Birthday !!!!!! \m/ |•!•| \m/ !!!!!! Would be a awesome bday party starter
Would love to catch the mighty Black Sabbath on this tour. God knows how long these guys are gonna last and they’re still sounding great.
I want Mayhem Festival tickets! I already have my Sabbath ticket 10th row center. I love all of the bands, and I dig new metal too!
Black Sabbath!!! Since I already got tickets to Mayhem.
Sabbath!!!
back sabbath! because its black sabbath! and its on a friday night and im dying for tickets!!!!
black sabbath please….
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath… The Return of The Oz… too epic to be missed…
I would love to see Black Sabbath w/ Ozzy. Paranoid was the first song I played on drums and missed them the last time they reunited in the late 90’s because of major personal issues.
Mayhem Fest for two reasons: 1) I already have Sabbath tickets 2) when I was 15 I saw Amon Amarth and got my picture with them and that year my mom made that our Christmas card so I want to see them again. Plus, JFAC.
Mayhemfest so I can see Bodom and Amon Amarth cookin’ in July heat. And I already have Sabbath tix.
Black Sabbath…because Iommi is God.
Black Sabbath because Toni is god
Sabbath! Because as you said, it’s fucking Black Sabbath!
Sabbath, because I want to take my 69 year old mother.
I want to see Sabbath; I’ve seen Ozzy and seen countless bands cover Sabbath songs at concerts – it’s time to finally see them do it.
Black Sabbath because they are the founding fathers of all the music I LOVE
Sabbath. I missed seeing them back during the Ozzfest years and this will probably be my final chance to see them.
I would love to go to the mayhem fest because I would like to see vikings in the summer heat.
Both would be sweet, but i’m leaning more towards Mayhem. I want to hear some of Amon Amarth’s new stuff live!
Mayhem to see Mastodon and Battlecross.
Black Sabbath !! never see them before this is my opportunity
I wanna go to Mayhem Festival to let out a lot of energy and have a good time. I’ve been going through a lot of struggles in my life lately, especially with the death of my mom, and I think Mayhem would really help me out a lot.
I want to see black sabbath cause its fucking black Sabbath. Last time I saw them was 01, and I was too young to truly appreciate it.
Mayhem fest because of Amon Amarth obviously.
Black Sabbath because I’ve only seen Ozzy solo, and this could be my last chance to see the real deal!
Tough Choice! I chose both! If I won I’d probably pick mayhem cause of Amon Amarth, Mastodon, Children of Bodom and all those bands but Sabbath would be awesome too!
Runes to My Memory Amon Amarth, Demonoid Phenomenon Rob Zombie, Warheart Children of Bodom
I’d like to go to both. Mayhem, because I went 3 years ago and had a good time up until I got stick and we had to leave early. It would be great to again for the whole day and night. And Black Sabbath because…well, it’s Black Sabbath.
