The Experience

Zakk Wylde presents BERZERKUS, a roll-and-roll circus extravaganza. 

For decades, the legendary guitar player Zakk Wylde has referred to his fans as Berserkers, whether performing live with Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne, Pantera or others. BERZERKUS is the opportunity for BERZERKERS to unite! 

This one-of-a-kind party from Zakk Wylde’s mind kicks off with doors opening at 1pm to the BERZERKUS Festival Area with a Craft Beer Festival for the first 3 hours, featuring live music performances from ZOSO (the ultimate Led Zeppelin experience), The Atomic Punks (a tribute to early Van Halen) and The Iron Maidens (the world’s only all female tribute to Iron Maiden), with Black Stone Cherry headlining the BERZERKUS Festival Stage. All this is coupled with a Car Show, Music Gear Market, Strong Man Competition, Battle of the Bands, Miss BERZERKUS, and more for all to enjoy. 

For those of you with a motorcycle, join the Ride for Dime, a charity ride to celebrate the life and legacy of Pantera’s legendary guitarist, Dimebag Darrell, leaving from Pocono Mountain Harley-Davidson and rolling into the big rock show in style on two wheels.

The two grand prize winners from the BERZERKUS Battle of the Bands – one original and one cover/tribute band  – will earn the opportunity to play live on stage at BERZERKUS! 

As the evening approaches the entertainment and action will shift from the BERZERKUS Festival Area into The Amphitheater at Poconos Park with live music from Clutch and Rival Sons, featuring headlining performances from Black Label Society and Cody Jinks!
