ELABORATE STAGE SETS, LIGHT SHOWS AND DJs …
GET READY FOR "FAMILY VALUES" 1998
As the big moment draws closer–September 22, to be exact–more information is beginning to surface about what fans could expect at one of the many stops along "The Family Values" tour route.
As previously reported, light shows and DJs–including DJ Punk-Roc from the U.K.–will provide the atmosphere in between sets.
The finishing touches are also now being made to the extremely elaborate "Family Values" stage sets. Each act on the bill (KORN, RAMMSTEIN, ICE CUBE featuring the newly-added W.C., LIMP BIZKIT and ORGY) has enlisted the services of production designers that have worked on major motion pictures, in keeping with the overall guarantee of the tour that fans experience the arena show of their lives. While each stage set is being kept under wraps for now (so as not to ruin the surprises, of course), tour representatives are assuring fans that they will not be disappointed.
KORN–JONATHAN (vocals), FIELDY (bass), MUNKY (guitars), HEAD (guitars) and DAVID (drums)–will be playing a full set with a larger-than-life production, and promises that this will be their best show ever, and one that their fans will never forget.
What inspired "The Family Values" tour name? As JONATHAN recently told Rolling Stone: "We're asking for trouble. Politicians say rock music is destroying our youth; we named it `Family Values' to piss those people off. It's going to be a parents-free zone."
The tour is set to kick-off September 22 in Rochester, NY and will last through November 1. Stay tuned for more dates to be announced in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, check out "The Family Values" tour in the following cities:
