Mudvayne returns to Tampa this weekend, a year after its frontman fell off stage at the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre

The last time Mudvayne was in Tampa—during last summer’s reunion tour, opening for Rob Zombie—lead singer Chad Gray fell off the stage at the ol’ Gary, while performing “Not Falling.”

Following the incident, he confirmed that he was OK and clear of any broken bones, but still sore. Just in case Gray, 51, forgets to remember his fall, we hope the pit will be equipped with a mattress or two on this, the second night of Mudvayne’s first headlining tour in 14 years.

Intergalactic metal monster band Gwar, fresh off perhaps the most pornographic Tiny Desk concert in NPR history, opens the show.
