Zakk Wylde’s Berkerkus is back, and it’s bigger than ever. After a one-day jaunt last year, the heavy metal festival has expanded to two separate days at two different venues. This year, Lamb of God are co-headlining along with Black Label Society. New editions to the lineup include Down, Suicidal Tendencies, and more. Check out the full bill below.

This year, the festival is traveling – sort of. While it’s not a full touring festival, the Berzerkus will take place at two venues this summer – The Pavilion at Montage Mountain in Scranton, Pennsylvania on Friday, August 28, and Northwell at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, New York on Saturday, August 29.

A ticket pre-sale begins today, Tuesday, May 5 at 12 PM ET and runs through 10 PM on Thursday, May 7, while general and VIP tickets go on sale this Friday, May 8 at 10 AM ET.

This year’s gigs also deliver immersive fan experiences, including a Curated Car Show, Ride for Dime, The Music Experience, Battle of the Bands competition (August 28 only), a Strongman Competition, and a Hot Sauce Eating Contest presented by High River Sauces. More to be announced in the coming weeks.
