Mar. 16, 2010
KORN has announced a spring tour that will take the band through some of the most intimate venues it has played in years. The "Ballroom Blitz Tour" will see KORN perform at general-admission ballrooms and clubs in anticipation of its new album, "Korn III: Remember Who You Are", tentatively set for a summer 2010 release. The LP was produced by Ross Robinson, who helmed the seminal first two KORN records and played a big part in forming the band's raw sound. Since the new album is a return to Mecca for KORN fans — raw, heavy as hell and old school — the tour is meant to recapture their early days, starting out.
Commented frontman Jonathan Davis on the "Ballroom Blitz Tour" and new album: "There is no sitting down on this one! We nicknamed this tour the 'Ballroom Blitz' because that's what we want to see out there, the die-hard KORN fans going nuts on the floor."
"On 'Korn III: Remember Who You Are', it was the first time we've worked with Ross since our second album and these were the types of gigs we played back then. Those early tours were some of the best times of our lives. Now we are looking to bring that vibe back in a big way."
Joining KORN as openers are Los Angeles rockers 2 CENTS, whose current single, "Get What!", has made them one of the hottest young hard rock bands today.
Seven dates from KORN's "Ballroom Blitz" have been announced, with more May dates to come in the following weeks. A limited number of special VIP pre-sale packages are available through Korn.com which include early entry, special-edition merch items and an exclusive listening party where fans can hear new tracks from the unreleased album.
