Live Nation to bring back Family Values tour
Live Nation and Korn have announced joint plans to relaunch the Family Values tour with a 30-date stint this year.
Aside from headliners Korn, other bands joining the bill include Deftones, Stone Sour, Flylef and Dir en gray on the main stage; second stage acts will be announced shortly.
Set to launch July 27 in Virginia Beach, Va., the tour will play mainly Live Nation amphitheaters, with lawn seats value-priced at $9.99, according to Billboard.
Korn created the Family Values brand with promoter Metropolitan Entertainment as a winter arena tour in 1998. Two tours (1998 and 1999) grossed $6.2 million and $10.6 million, respectively, and drew a combined 552,786, according to Billboard Boxscore.
Last year, Live Nation reportedly invested about $3 million in exchange for 6% of Korn's box office, licensing, publishing, merchandising and CD sales.
