Korn have announced plans to resurrect their Family Values Festival but instead of a touring festival, the relaunch will be a one-off event this October.The original Family Values Tour was launched in 1998 and went dormant for many years, but Korn decided to reactivate it as a one day event to celebrate the release of their new album "The Paradigm Shift," which will be released on October 8th.
Family Values Festival is set to take place at the 1st Bank Center in Denver, Colorado on October 5th and will also feature performances from Hollywood Undead, Asking Alexandria, Machine Gun Kelly and Beware of Darkness.
Korn frontman Jonathan Davis had this to say about the event, "We wanted to celebrate our new album release in a big way since Head is back and since this record means so much to us. What better way but to bring back Family Values and the Korn Kage for one big f**kin' special night!
"Denver became the spot�we figured we needed something cool in the middle of the country, so everyone would have a chance to get there and we could do it with our buds at KBPI who love the rock and have been big Korn supporters forever!"
The event will be taking place amidst Korn's previously announce North American tour dates which kick off on September 26th in Philadelphia, PA at the Electric Factory.
