The band is back after a 12-year hiatus.
After a 12-year hiatus, Mudvayne are reuniting. The band will be performing at all four Danny Wimmer Presents U.S. festivals in 2021 including Louder Than Life in Kentucky, Aftershock in California and Welcome To Rockville in Florida, and a headlining performance at Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival in Ohio. These dates mark the band’s first shows since 2009 and their only dates this year.
Watch the official announcement video below.
Mudvayne is Chad Gray (vocals), Greg Tribbett (guitar, backing vocals), Matthew McDonough (drums, synthesizer) and Ryan Martinie (bass). Formed in 1996, Mudvayne have sold over six million records worldwide, earning Gold certification for three albums (L.D. 50, The End Of All Things To Come, Lost and Found). The band is known for their sonic experimentation, innovative album art, face and body paint, masks and uniforms.
Danny Wimmer, founder of Danny Wimmer Presents recalls, “In our fan surveys, Mudvayne has consistently been one of the most requested bands – even though they weren’t an active band! 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.”
