"I'm really excited about the 2011 Indianapolis Metal Fest," said organizer Mark LaFay. "Rob Mason, the festival's founder, started this journey a few years ago and I am very excited to work with him and Live Nation to take this event to the next level in 2011. There are awesome events on both sides of the nation, and we are hoping to grow this event into something for Middle America metalheads to really take pride in!"
