NXT to be appearing at music festival in October

[Toxik916]

I'm super excited for this! I'm getting a chance to see my favorite band Breaking Benjamin and wrestling at the same festival!

This is a great way for NXT to get new eyes on the product and increase the brand awareness.

[Mister Pigwell]

I just might have to go to this.

They have Yelawolf on the bottom of the poster ? DAHALL

[A Platypus Rave]

... so they're going to start a band?

It is a rock festival. To place Yelawolf anywhere else would be like putting Meshuggah at the top of a rave festival or something, lol.

Sevendust
Breaking Benjamin

It's like WWE soundtrack bingo for the mid to late 2000s PPV theme songs and video game soundtracks!

That is a really cool way to market the brand though. Great idea!

I'll never accept criticism of Sevendust. They are just a great band and Lajon is a great singer.

Outside that, Faith No More all the only other good thing and should be headlining.

Tech N9ne gets places pretty high on rock festivals (Knotfest, Rock on the Range)

Shouldn't though, lol. Reminds me of the brain fart of Chase and Status at Download, lol.

So you're telling me that I could go see Glassjaw, Faith No More, Deftones, and Failure on the same day; along with NXT?

I don't like living in Canada right now.

Yeah, that second day lineup is pretty sweet. If I lived in the area, I would definitely attend the Sunday show for the bands (I have given up on WWE and NXT but I may watch if I'm already there).

So... any Sacremento Fan members willing to let me crash that weekend? I offer payment in the form of homemade red velvet cupcakes.

Now I've only heard of some of these bands in passing, but I'm sure Bring Me The Horizon (who I haven't heard of) regret their logo being Arial font underlined...

it does come off like a just leave it default we'll come up with the real logo later

[Lance Uppercut]

The awesomeness depends on what the NXT roster looks like in 6 months. Will we still have Balor and Owens? Will Itami and Zayn still be injured? Is this show just gonna feature random ass Baron Corbin, Mojo, and a ridiculously out of place Bayley and Alexa? Will Cory Graves and Becky Lynch finally have it out about who's the real "Punk"?

[Deleted]

I remember seeing Samoa Joe wrestle Jay Lethal in half time during a Edmonton Eskimo preseason game. It was random but it was how the local indy PWA way of advertising themselves and the shows they were putting on that weekend. What is even more surreal is that Roman Reigns may have been in the lineup that game as well. Oh God! That may been the moment a down and luck Roman Reigns decided to become a wrestler if football didn't pan out for him.

Any Roman Reigns h8ers you know who to blame now

Don't forget Art of Dying doing the old Season 2 NXT theme "Get Through This".

Neat idea. If I was out west, I'd go to this, with NXT being the tipping point.

I like that they're targeting rock fans, sports fans, trying to get their product out to different people instead of just trying to glom onto whatever is mainstream at the moment.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

I sadly live in England, otherwise Glassjaw and NXT in one weekend would be sweet as hell.

Jane's Addiction and STP could be cool. But Dave Navarro doesn't even care about music anymore, and STP has f***ing Chester Bennington fronting them.
