Unleashing the Monster

---

The hard rocking Crüe Fest 2 has teamed with one of the most recognizable brands in the world, Monster® Energy Drink, to bring audiences the new Monster Energy Stage.

Monster Energy is no stranger to the national concert circuit. Monster Energy has dedicated its brand to live music over the years as part of major National and International festivals, specialty concert tours and substantial one-offs, as both core sponsors and associate sponsors. Monster Energy has always put its support behind the music industry. Now Monster is kicking its involvement in live music into overdrive. This summer's Crüe Fest 2 marks the first time Monster Energy will have a mobile stage dedicated entirely to their brand. The Monster Energy stage is a wonder of modern touring tech. Through the latest in cutting-edge staging and sound system technology, the mobile stage can be fully set up or torn down in a blazingly short period of time. Part semi-trailer, part fully functional stage—think "Transformers" but armed with drums, amps and guitars—the Monster Energy Stage's sound is powered by 279,000 watts and the massive new Peavey Versarray™ 212 line-array sound system.

Crüe Fest 2 features Mötley Crüe, Godsmack, Theory of a Deadman, Drowning Pool, Charm City Devils and many others.

"Motley Crüe is such an iconic band with the most loyal fans in the world," said Monster Energy's Brent Hamilton. "In a time where it seems everything is being cut back, Mötley Crüe is delivering more to its fans and at the same time giving up-and-coming bands exposure. Monster Energy is proud to be a part of the havoc that will be wreaked across the nation this summer."

On Crüe Fest 2, the Monster Energy Stage will be ground zero for one lucky local band per city with a chance to rock the biggest crowds of their lives. Radio stations in each market will host contests to determine each winning band to open the Monster Energy Stage as Monster Energy continues its unyielding support of bands and artists across the globe.

In the future, you can expect the Monster Energy Stage to be burning up the road on the biggest tours in the music industry. In the meantime, don't miss the chance to experience the Monster Energy Stage on the Crüe Fest 2 Tour.
