THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Five Finger Death Punch, Prophets of Rage, Stone Sour, Marilyn Manson, Mastodon and Halestorm are a few of the 25 bands which will be part of Monster Energy Houston Open Air. It will be taking place at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion presented by Huntsman, on Oct. 14 and Oct. 15. It is produced by Danny Wimmer Presents and Live Nation.
Marilyn Manson, Five Finger Death Punch, Halestorm, In This Moment, Gojira, Of Mice & Men, Beartooth, Starset, Avatar, Code Orange, New Years Day, Greta Van Fleet and While She Sleeps are scheduled to perform on Oct. 14.
For Oct. 15, the lineup consists of: Prophets of Rage, Stone Sour, Mastodon, Suicidal Tendencies, Steel Panther, Zakk Sabbath, August Burns Red, Power Trip, Radkey, DED, Black Map and Palisades.
“After a tough year, with nearby lightning creating challenges for Houston Open Air 2016, we’re excited to return to the Houston area this year,” Danny Wimmer (founder of Danny Wimmer Presents) stated. “As we said then – and reaffirm now – we’re committed to building an incredible rock show for the Houston community. It’s not our preference to stop a show, or inconvenience anyone by having them seek shelter or leave the facility, but we take dangerous weather conditions very seriously and will not compromise anyone’s safety. Looking forward to bringing the rock back to Texas!”
“Houston is a great Rock City and Open Air is a great Rock Festival,” cited Jason Rio (President of Live Nation Houston). “We are proud to be partnering with such a well-respected company as DWP, along with our friends at CWMP and 94.5 The Buzz to bring the 2017 Houston Open Air festival to the Woodlands.”
“Every time we’ve played Houston it’s always been a great time,” Zoltan Bathory (guitarist of Five Finger Death Punch) said. “There are a lot of rock and metal fans there and we’ve always had massive crowds. So it was just a question of time for the city to get its own big Rock Festival. We are glad to see that it finally happened and are honored to be a part of it.”
Sponsors and media partners include: Monster Energy, CWMP, 94.5 The Buzz, Fxck Cancer/Dyin 2 Live and more.
