Daniel Aburto (DRMF organizer) comments:
"If you breath and love heavy metal music then come south to Tijuana to the biggest, baddest, loudest metal festival. The Bands are ready to rock, so get ready to headbang and put those horns in the air".
Israel Pelayo (DRMF organizer/booking agent) comments:
"We are very excited to be able to host such a killer line-up of international bands at this year's fest. The mighty and crushing DYING FETUS, legends like GRIM REAPER and RIOT, Tim "Ripper" Owens and HIRAX, along with so many others makes this our best festival yet. We hope to see everyone here to enjoy 2 full days of family friendly heavy metal."

Bassist Don Van Stavern (RIOT) comments:
"We are looking forward to performing at Dragon Rojo Metal Fest. We haven't played in Tijuana, Mexico since the 80's at Club Iguanas. Mexico has awesome fans and we are ready to unleash the fire with classics, some newer music and rock the home of outlaws and tequila! Shine on warriors".
Vocalist Tim "Ripper: Owens (KK'S PRIEST/Ex-JUDAS PRIEST) comments:
"Gotta say I’m really looking forward to playing Dragon Rojo Metal Fest in Tijuana and also really excited that I will have the great CAGE band backing me up again. So the last three bands of the festival will be CAGE and then I go on with the fellas backing me up, with RIOT V closing the festival."
Vocalist Harry "The Tyrant" Conklin (THE THREE TREMORS/JAG PANZER/TITAN FORCE) comments:
"Hey metal heads. Join me and the boys in a night for the history books. We are going to show the world how true metal heads rock. See you there."
Vocalist Sean "Hell Destroyer" Peck (CAGE/THE THREE TREMORS/DENNER-SHERMANN/DEATH DEALER) comments:
"Our love for playing in Mexico and the Mexican metal fans is well documented, so we are extremely excited to make our long overdue return via this incredible Festival. We cannot wait to bring all the speed and power our fans expect and love to the Dragon Rojo Metal Fest. We are very grateful for the organizers to include us in this incredible metal celebration."
