KORN Rumored For Denmark's ROSKILDE FESTIVAL

February 1, 2007

According to the Danish music webzine Gaffa.dk, KORN is in talks to play this year's Roskilde Festival, set to take place July 5-8 in Roskilde, Denmark. Also Currently confirmed to appear at the event are RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS and BJÖRK. More acts will be announced soon.

KORN's performance at Roskilde will mark the band's first appearance at the festival since 2004.

KORN's video for the "unplugged" version of "Freak on a Leash", featuring a guest appearance by Amy Lee of EVANESCENCE, has been posted online at YouTube.com. The track comes off KORN's "MTV Unplugged" CD, which has had its release date pushed back to March 6 from the previously announced February 20. The performance, which was recorded December 9, 2006 at MTV's Times Square (New York City) studios, includes an additional guest appearance from Robert Smith of THE CURE on a cover of the CURE classic "In Between Days". The album version of the performance will also include KORN's cover of "Creep" by RADIOHEAD. The full "Unplugged" performance will appear online on February 24 and premiere on MTV on March 2. A special February 23 premiere will take place at KORN's official web site.

KORN is currently working with veteran rock drummer Terry Bozzio on its eighth studio album. The 56-year-old Bozzio is sitting in for KORN drummer David Silveria, who announced in December that he was taking a "temporary hiatus" from the group for at least one studio album and tour. Bozzio, long considered one of the greatest drummers in rock, is best known for his work with MISSING PERSONS and FRANK ZAPPA. He also worked with KORN vocalist Jonathan Davis on music for the soundtrack of the film "Queen of the Damned". Pictures from the current studio sessions with Bozzio can be found at Korn.Simpol.Net.

KORN expects to release its new album later this year.
