Korn, Evanescence top Family Values lineup

Korn 's Family Values Tour will return this summer with the hard rockers co-headlining with Evanescence .

The festival's fifth installment, which is set to kick off July 20 in St. Louis, MO, will also feature Atreyu , Flyleaf , Trivium and Hellyeah, the new band comprising Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott and members of Mudvayne and Nothingface, according to MTV, which broke the news with an online press conference Monday (3/26).

Family Values will hit US cities from coast to coast, and will also make a stop in Toronto. The itinerary for the trek has yet to be released, but a list of cities is included below.

Korn launched The Family Values Tour in 1998 and it was an annual event through 2001. The rock festival went dormant for five years and returned for its most successful run in 2006, adding a second stage for the first time.

Before Family Values hits the road, Korn will embark on a major European tour in late May. Those dates can be found at the band's website.

The Grammy-award-winning rockers' most recent album, "MTV Unplugged: Korn," hit stores earlier this month. The set was recorded at MTV's Times Square studio in December and features guest appearances by Evanescence's Amy Lee and The Cure's Robert Smith.

Korn's latest studio album, the platinum-selling "See You on the Other Side," was released in December 2005. It marked the band's debut via a partnership with EMI/Virgin Records as well as its first recording since the departure of guitarist Brian "Head" Welch. Songs from that record are streaming at Korn's MySpace page.

During the Family Values press conference, Korn frontman Jonathan Davis told fans that work on the band's upcoming album is "going great" and that "Ya'll are gonna hear some new sh-- for sure."
