KORN Vocalist Says There Will Be A 2007 FAMILY VALUES Tour

November 16, 2006

Launch Radio Networks reports: KORN successfully resurrected the Family Values Tour this past summer after a five-year hiatus, and frontman Jonathan Davis — with his son Pirate celebrating in the background — told Launch that another edition of the trek is definitely on the band's radar for 2007. "There is gonna be one," he said. "We know for sure. We're going after some bands, I can't say yet, I wish I could, and all I know is it's gonna be amazing and people are gonna love it and we're gonna be doing it again. Once it gets closer, we'll announce who will be on it and stuff but I can't really say right now."

The 2006 Family Values Tour featured DEFTONES, STONE SOUR, FLYLEAF, 10 YEARS and others in addition to KORN.

CD and DVD documents of the tour will be released separately on December 26, according to a press release. Both will feature live tracks from all the acts that appeared on the trek.

KORN founded the Family Values tour in 1998 and headlined the first edition. The next two lineups, in 1999 and 2001, were topped by LIMP BIZKIT and STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, respectively.

As previously reported, Jonathan Davis was sued in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this month by a former business partner, who accused him of fraud and breach of contract. Arthur Rosenblatt is demanding $250,000 plus legal fees and punitive damages from Davis for publicly disparaging Rosenblatt in interviews over their failed attempt to open a museum of crime artifacts. Rosenblatt sued Davis in 2004 over the project, with Davis agreeing not to talk about the case as part of the settlement.
