Created by Live Nation, Las Rageous will feature performances from AVENGED SEVENFOLD, GODSMACK, ANTHRAX, COHEED AND CAMBRIA, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, BREAKING BENJAMIN, and more with two stages in the heart of iconic downtown Las Vegas. Charlie Benante of ANTHRAX stated: "We are looking forward to playing the Las Rageous festival, planning on making this first-time festival memorable." Benjamin Burnley of BREAKING BENJAMIN said: "We're really excited to be a part of Las Rageous in April. We love playing Vegas and are looking forward to being a part of this new festival."

Rock and metal music have a rich history here in Sin City; from the bands it has fostered, to its wild and loyal fans, to KOMP — one of the oldest and most respected rock stations in the country." The lineup for Las Rageous is as follows: Friday, April 21: GODSMACK ANTHRAX COHEED AND CAMBRIA KILLSWITCH ENGAGE OF MICE & MEN THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA Saturday, April 22: AVENGED SEVENFOLD BREAKING BENJAMIN MASTODON EAGLES OF DEATH METAL ALL THAT REMAINS ESCAPE THE FATE With only 10,000 tickets available for purchase, Las Rageous offers the rare opportunity for fans to enjoy a festival experience in an intimate outdoor setting.
