Update: We have just posted the updated CONFIRMED announcement right here.
While an initial lineup leaked weeks ago, the organizers of Mayhem Fest promised an official announcement today. Looks like Trivium frontman Matt Heafy jumped the gun this morning, when he revealed the lineup ahead of the official announcement:

Thanks for making our job easier, Matt! I'm assuming the festival organizers sent a bunch of promo graphics out to all the bands to promote and Matt just jumped the gun.

To confirm, it's Avenged Sevenfold, Korn, Asking Alexandria, Trivium, Cannibal Corpse, Suicide Silence, Body Count, Miss May I, Mushroomhead, Emmure, Veil of Maya, Upon A Burning Body, Texas Hippie Coalition, Darkest Hour, Ill Nino, Wretched, Islander and Erimha.
