Zakk Wylde<\/a> is bringing back his Berzerkus<\/a> Festival for a pair of 2026 dates to be headlined by Lamb of God<\/a>. Both shows will take place on the East Coast with dates booked for Aug. 28 at The Pavilion at Montage Mountain in Scranton, Pa. and the second show a day later on Aug. 29 at Northwell at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, N.Y.<\/p>\n

Wylde initially dipped his toes in the festival world with Berzerkus back in 2024<\/a>. That single-day festival featured Black Label Society playing with Cody Jinks, Rival Sons, Black Stone Cherry and more.<\/p>\n

So who will be joining Wylde and Lamb of God this year?<\/p>\n

The festival will also feature Down<\/a>, Suicidal Tendencies<\/a>, Zakk Sabbath<\/a> and Dark Chapel while the Scranton date will add on the tribute bands Fan Halen, Bonfire and Use Your Illusion to the bill.<\/p>\n
