39 minutes of pure nu-metal chaos with the late, great Chester at his peak.
The 2-day festival, slated for Sept.21-22 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and billed as "the Biggest Live Music Event in Radio History," will be streamed live by Yahoo!, Clear Channel's web and mobile webcast partner for the event. This year's iHeartRadio Music Festival follows last year's inaugural event--tickets for which sold out 10 minutes after being made available to the public—and likewise has focused on superstar talent. The officially announced talent lineup-- unveiled this morning via special live announcement by Ryan Seacrest--also includes Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Lil Wayne, Swedish House Mafia, Pitbull, Deadmau5, Miranda Lambert, Enrique Iglesias, Linkin Park, Jason Aldean, Pink, Mary J. Blige, Calvin Harris and Shakira.
Sound
That raw pre-Perfect-Vocal-Correction era.
Production
Massive festival stage, zero pretension.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This festival capped rock's last gasp as mainstream radio headliner bait before EDM fully took over festival culture.
This performance came months after Chester's band Dead by Sunrise released their second album, and he was reportedly struggling with substance issues during this period—making his on-stage precision almost supernatural.
