Pre-sale tickets are available to all of the bands' fan club members beginning Wednesday, June 10, at 12pm local time at www.pedaltothemetaltour.com (website will go live June 10), with general public on sale beginning Friday, June 12, at 10am local time.

"The tour started as a summer tour with us and Black Label Society, but as we started fleshing out ideas, it transformed into this really cool concept," says Mudvayne frontman Chad Gray. The final result is the inaugural run of The Pedal To The Metal Tour, a road-ready and battle-proven assemblage of hard rock and heavy metal bands guaranteed to raise temperatures and melt asphalt over the summer months. "We're really excited, because this package is a merging of great bands, good people and fucking amazing fans. It'll be great to bring them all together."

"I was looking forward to a full throttle assault with just Mudvayne this summer, but when Chad said 'Let's do more,' I was all-in," declares Zakk Wylde, the iconic and self-professed General Patton of Black Label Society. Adding, "On behalf of JD, Craig, Nick, the Doom Crew Inc. and myself, we can't wait to see our Black Label family and the entire Black Label nation once again, rollin' through hell and destroying everything in our path! Fire up the barbecues, fire up the tunes, and get ready for the rest of your Pedal To The Metal family to fire it up and let the engines roll… Game m-f-'n on!"

Says Static-X frontman Wayne Static of the tour: "I'm very picky about who we tour with. I think Static-X slaughter most bands live, and I pride myself in our show – I refuse to open for a band that I don't think is worthy, so that says a lot about Mudvayne, Zakk Wylde, and this entire package."
