DJ Sid Wilson (#0) of SLIPKNOT broke both of his heels at the first show of the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival on July 9 in Auburn, Washington and has been forced to wear casts on both legs. He apparently jumped off one of the stages in the background of SLIPKNOT's stage set and landed incorrectly. Despite having casts on both legs, Sid has vowed to play all shows on the Rockstar Energy tour, even if it means getting around in a wheelchair, as was the case at last night's (Saturday, July 12) concert in Mountain View, California.

Here's the set list from the July 12 Mountain View, CA show at the Shoreline Amphitheatre:

1. Opening + Surfacing
2. The Blister Exists
3. Get This
4. Before I Forget
5. Disasterpiece
6. Psychosocial
7. The Heretic Anthem
8. Prosthetics
9. Duality
10. People=Shit
11. (SIC)

LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Slipknot will join the ranks of such artists-turned-entrepreneurs as Jay-Z and Sean "Diddy" Combs when the mask-clad metal band launches its own clothing line this summer, Billboard has learned.

The band's clothing line, Tattered and Torn, is named after a song on the band's self-released 1996 album, "Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat," and will initially be sold exclusively in North America at Hot Topic stores beginning in late July, according Tom Bennett, CEO of Bravado, the merchandising arm of Universal Music Group.

"It's just something more for our fans," Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor said. "It's a way for them to get cool clothing at affordable prices."

Tattered and Torn will launch with "basic boys and girls hoodies" before becoming a "full-range clothing line," Bennett said.

Slipknot manager Cory Brennan acknowledged that merchandise is the largest revenue stream for the band, citing touring as a close second. "People who wear Slipknot merchandise wear it as a badge of honor," Brennan said. "They want to show the world that they support this band and are a part of this culture."

Slipknot percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan said that some diehard fans have been known to wear the band's merchandise for months on end. "The teachers would call their parents and say, 'These kids aren't washing their clothes,'" Crahan said. "But in fact, the kid is coming home every night and washing the shirt, because he wants to represent his mind-set."

But of all the merchandise Slipknot offers to its "Maggot" fans, as the band refers to them, T-shirts and sweatshirts with an image of the nine members are still the hottest sellers, according to Brennan.

The idea to sell Slipknot's one-of-a-kind masks, which change slightly with each new album cycle, came after the band's inner circle noticed that fans were wearing homemade masks to the act's concerts. Those tend to sell best around Halloween, according to Bennett, and Slipknot's management is hoping that the band's newly designed masks, which were recently revealed on AOL Music's Spinner.com, will be ready in time for Halloween 2008.

Due to Northern California Wildfires, JULY 11th (SACRAMENTO) Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival Performance Rescheduled to Monday July 14th!

Concerned for the health and safety of our patrons, performers and employees, Live Nation announces a date change for SACRAMENTO's scheduled Rockstar Energy Mayhem festival at The Sleep Train Amphitheater. The air quality and temperature are expected to improve by end of weekend, allowing for the event to be moved to Monday, July 14th and show time will remain 1:30pm. Tickets purchased for Friday, July 11th will be honored.

As we enter the second week of wild fires, and the recent 100+ degree temperatures, it is in the best interest of all involved that the tour date be rescheduled as conditions are expected to improve over the weekend. A variety of city and county officials have urged area residents to avoid long-term exposure to the outdoors and limit outdoor recreational activities.

"We sincerely regret this unavoidable cancellation and apologize to fans for any disappointment caused," says tour co-founder John Reese. "And while we're thankful that the show can take place on Monday, our thoughts are with the families in this area during this difficult time."

The Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival event features more than a dozen artists, including metal giants Disturbed and Slipknot, acrobatic freestyle motocross riders from The Metal Mulisha and a wide range of vendors and other lifestyle festivities.

Refunds will be available at original point of purchase.
