Ballroom Blitz Tour

The Ballroom Blitz Tour is a concert tour by Nu metal band Korn in support of their ninth studio album Korn III: Remember Who You Are. The album marks the return of producer Ross Robinson, who produced the band's self-titled album in 1994 and its follow-up Life Is Peachy in 1996. Much like the new album, the Ballroom Blitz Tour is said to recreate the band's early sound. The tour is also set in smaller venues similar to the band's early tours. Frontman Jonathan Davis explained that "early tours were some of the best times of our lives. Now we are looking to bring that vibe back in a big way". Opening acts for the tour included 2 Cents, Big Jay Oakerson, Dimmu Borgir, Rise to Remain and Shihad. This was Korn's first tour as a quartet since 4 years with their new drummer Ray Luzier, who officially joined the band in 2009.

gollark: Which forums?
gollark: I am using a one file one, I don't think it's recent though.
gollark: Currently I believe my stuff is using some random outdated build from ages ago, and not benefiting from new improvements to verification speed.
gollark: Some sort of convenient standalone ECC library for potatOS and stuff would be neat too.
gollark: In what way? Because both use OpenGL?
