Mudvayne have announced that they will be carrying out a long-awaited reunion this year, exclusively performing at all four Danny Wimmer Presents U.S. Festivals in 2021. These festivals include Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival (where they will be headlining) in Ohio, Louder Than Life in Kentucky, Aftershock in California, and Welcome to Rockville in Florida.
These shows will mark Mudvayne’s first shows since 2009, and their only dates for 2021.
Danny Wimmer, founder of Danny Wimmer Presents, explains, “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 DWPis super pumped to have Mudvayne exclusively at all four of our festivals this year.”
