Metal legends Motorhead have officially been added to the lineup for the 2012 Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival.
Lemmy and co. will be appearing on the festival's main stage, which already features Slipknot and Slayer.
"Well, we're used to mayhem in this band," said Kilmister, "so it's kind of a family tradition! Bring it!"
The main stage of this year's Mayhem Festival will also feature a rotating line-up featuring some of metal's hottest acts, including The Devil Wears Prada, Asking Alexandria and As I Lay Dying. The acts from that group not appearing on the mainstage will be on the Jagermeister stage, which will be headlined by Anthrax.
Also on the Jagermeister stage will be Whitechapel and High on Fire.

Glad I've seen Motorhead a dozen times over the last 25 years. They where the first concert I went to as a kid in 1984. I love seeing them in a smaller venue like the Warfield in SF. The idea of paying $80 or more to see them at some outdoor douchebag fest crammed full of snotty poser kids is just not gonna happen for me. The Rockstar Fest is the kind of poser bullshit that my 15 year old niece would be going to. I know its a business move, but it sucks for REAL Motorhead fans who have been supporting them for the last 25+ years..going to shows, buying all the albums and t shirts. To lump a legendary band like Motorhead in with The Devil Wears Prada or Slipknot is just disgusting and a disgrace. Sorry Lemmy, count me out this time around.
