PHOENIX – Hey all you freaks on leashes and men in boxes, this one’s for you.
Nu metal pioneers Korn and grunge icons Alice in Chains announced Monday they’re teaming up for a co-headlining North American tour that stops in Phoenix this summer.
The sounds will be heavy at Ak-Chin Pavilion on Aug. 31, when the headliners will be joined by Fever 333 and Underoath.
Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m.
Led by screamer Jonathan Davis, Korn broke through in the late 1990s with a funky metal sound that produced hits such as “Freak on a Leash” and “Falling Away From Me.”
