Dashboard Confessional Tops ‘Taste Of Chaos’ Lineup

Presented by Rockstar Energy Drink, this year’s outing is the first edition of Taste Of Chaos since 2009. Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman launched the festival in 2005 with John Reese, whose resume includes co-founding Mayhem Festival and Oddball Festival.

“It has been awhile, but I had hoped that the Rockstar Tate Of Chaos tour had a chance to come back,” Lyman said. “That time is now, and I am excited that the artists thought it was time too.”

Reese added, “After the very successful Taste Of Chaos destination festival in San Bernardino, Calif., in October 2015, we felt that we wanted to bring a number of these amazing bands around the country.”

Dashboard Confessional and Taking Back Sunday are joined on the road by Saosin with Anthony Green as well as The Early November. Saves The Day, Motion City Soundtrack, and The Starting Line have each signed on for one-night only appearances, with Saves The Day playing Holmdel, N.J.; Motion City Soundtrack in Wantagh, N.Y.; and The Starting Line in Philadelphia.
