Since its launch in 2008, the Rockstar Energy Drink  has quickly become one of top U.S. metal tours. Some of the biggest names in music have headlined the fest in the past, including Motorhead, Slayer and Slipknot in 2012. No bands have been announced yet, but the dates and cities for this year's trek have just been unveiled.

For the first time, the Mayhem Festival will play in Bangor, Maine, and Austin, Texas. 2013 also marks a return to Toronto. Who will be playing Mayhem this year? We'll have to wait until March 18, when the lineup will be unveiled, but organizers promise that "2013 will bring a heart pounding heavy lineup like never before." There is a short teaser video you can watch below.

One thing we do know is that this year's festival will have four stages, the most ever. They include The Rockstar Energy Drink main stage, the Jagermeister Festival Stage, the Musician’s Institute Festival Stage and the Sumerian/Headbang for The Highway Stage.

Tickets will be going on sale starting Friday March 22 and 23 with more details coming soon. See the full list of cities and dates below the video:
