Family Values Tour launches amid schedule changes
The third incarnation of the Family Values Tour, which features co-headliners Stone Temple Pilots and Staind, gets underway tonight (10/11) in Cleveland. Though the kick-off and most of the October dates will take place as originally planned, the tour has been re-routed, resulting in a number of canceled and rescheduled November stops.
The tour's previously planned November dates in Houston, San Antonio, Little Rock, Oklahoma City, Las Vegas and Los Angeles have all been canceled, and will not be rescheduled, according to organizers. The Anaheim, Phoenix and Sacramento stops, meanwhile, have all been rescheduled, and a planned stop in Oakland will now take place in San Jose. Details appear in the itinerary below.
The rerouting is attributed to "circumstances beyond our control," according to an announcement posted on the tour's official website.
Tickets for the tour's Denver, Phoenix, San Jose and Sacramento stops go on sale on Saturday (10/13), though members of the tour's official website--membership to which costs $10--will have a crack at tickets via an Internet pre-sale set for Friday (10/12). All other dates are already on sale.
The Family Values Tour marks Stone Temple Pilots' first full-fledged U.S. outing behind its fifth album, "Shangri-La Dee Da" (Atlantic), which hit stores in June and debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Co-headliner Staind, meanwhile, spent the summer on the road in support of its chart-topping sophomore effort, "Break the Cycle" (Flip).
In addition to the two headliners, this year's Family Values outing also features Static-X, Deadsy and Spike 1000. The latter group is only scheduled to appear at the first five Family Values tour stops, and is expected to play several free after-hours shows in cities that the tour will be stopping in, according to the tour's website.
Static X released "Machine" (Warner Bros.) in May. Deadsy's first album is expected sometime this fall on Korn's Elementree label. Spike 1000 released its debut album, "Waste of Skin" (Columbia), last month.
The Family Values tour was co-founded and headlined by Korn in 1998, and featured headliners Limp Bizkit in 1999. A tentatively planned 2000 edition was scrapped, apparently due to scheduling conflicts.
