Crüe Fest 2 Adds 2nd Stage

THE MOTLEY ONES EXPAND SECOND ANNUAL ROAD FEST

Crue

Crue Fest 2 has announced a partnership with Monster Energy to add an additional stage at most dates on this year’s festival. The new Monster Energy Stage doubles the entertainment value at Crue Fest 2 with five additional bands – Rev Theory, Cavo, Shram and 16 Second Stare plus one band chosen locally in select markets, showcasing the next generation of rock. With no change in ticket prices, rock fans will now see ten great rock bands for the price of one. For the cost of a Mötley Crue concert, fans will see a day long rock festival with Mötley as the headliners. Crue Fest 2 kicks off in Camden, NJ on July 19 (full tour dates here).

Crue Fest 2 stars Mötley Crue with Godsmack, Theory of a Deadman, Drowning Pool and introduces Charm City Devils. The performances on the Monster Energy Stage will be staggered between the main stage acts creating a non-stop music event and adding to the overall festival atmosphere.

“It’s always been in our hearts to turn our fans onto new rock music. Another stage seems to be just what the doctor ordered for Crue Fest 2 and gives loyal Crue and rock fans more for their hard earned money. See ya there,” said Mötley Crue.

As a tribute to releasing a 20th Anniversary Expanded Edition of Dr. Feelgood earlier this year, Mötley Crue will be performing the entire album front to back at this year’s festival in addition to their hits.

Check out the JamBase review of Crue’s new album from last year, which we dug!

Signal Path

For almost a decade, Signal Path‘s mission has been to push the boundaries of electronic music in the performance setting. As one of the pioneers of their genre, Signal Path has influenced countless artists across the country, been downloaded by tens of thousands of loyal fans nationwide, played almost every major US festival, and has gained international recognition for their live shows.

In the next phase of Signal Path, and almost two years since their last major tour, fans find the band producing a sound that has become more mature, authoritative, and immense. While still blending both live instrumentation and computer generated production, Signal Path is creating some of the most progressive music in their history. Originally a duo, Signal Path comes full circle with Ryan Burnett producing and playing guitar and Damon Metzner on the acoustic drums. This configuration allows the sound to become focused, spontaneous, and rich.

A new record is out this spring, and made available to the fans absolutely free. Check out http://www.myspace.com/signalpathband for more info. The Path is back, updated, and will be coming to a city near you.
