THE FAMILY VALUES TOUR
On December 26, hard rock fans can get another taste of one of the music world’s most successful tours when THE FAMILY VALUES TOUR 2006 CD and separate DVD are released on Firm Music. The CD and DVD will feature live tracks from Korn and Deftones, as well as select cuts from all the bands on the bill: Stone Sour, Flyleaf, Dir en grey, 10 Years, Deadsy, Bury Your Dead, Bullets and Octane and Walls of Jericho. Highlights include: one-of-a-kind duets, acoustic tracks and cover songs including a special appearance from Richard Patrick (Army of Anyone, Filter). These upcoming releases mark the fourth in the series (The Family Values Tour '98, The Family Values Tour '99 and The Family Values Tour '01).
This summer more than 400,000 wildly enthusiastic fans turned out for the 30 shows on THE FAMILY VALUES TOUR–that was headlined and founded by Korn. Kicking off with a sold-out show of 17,000 rocking fans at Nashville’s Starwood Amphitheatre, THE FAMILY VALUES TOUR set new attendance records.
Stay tuned for additional details on THE FAMILY VALUES TOUR 2006.
About THE FAMILY VALUES TOUR:
The first trek launched September 22, 1998 with a bill headlined by KORN and with performances from Rammstein, Ice Cube, Limp Bizkit and Orgy. 1999's line-up featured headliners Limp Bizkit, along with Filter, The Crystal Method, Primus, Staind, Mobb Deep, Ja Rule, and Method Man & Redman. KORN also made surprise appearances at a few dates. Beyond the live touring aspect, the debut outing of The Family Values Tour spawned a gold-certified live album and platinum-certified companion home video. This was followed in spring 2000 with the second live disc and long-form home video. The 2001 trek featured Stone Temple Pilots, Linkin Park, Staind, Static-X and Deadsy. In 1998, the Los Angeles Times noted that the tour "certainly proved to be one of the rock spectacles of the year," while the New York Daily News said it "created a bold new profile for hard guitar bands."
