STP, Staind, Linkin Park, others slated for Family Values 2001
Stone Temple Pilots and Staind have been tapped to co-headline this year’s Family Values tour, and will be joined on the outing by Linkin Park , Static-X and Deadsy. The traveling rock festival is due to hit the road in October.
Dates for the outing have not yet been revealed. Pre-sale tickets will eventually be made available through the tour’s official website, which is scheduled to launch sometime this week.
The Family Values tour will mark Stone Temple Pilots’ first full-fledged U.S. run 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. The group, which is currently making the rounds on the European festival circuit, performed only a handful of U.S. dates earlier this summer following the album’s release.
Staind is currently on break after recently completing a three-month summer trek behind its chart-topping sophomore effort, “Break the Cycle” (Flip). The group’s most recent performance took place in Latrobe, Pa., at the Aug. 4 Rolling Rock Town Fair, an event that also featured the band’s future Family Values tourmates Stone Temple Pilots.
Co-founded and headlined by Korn in 1998, the Family Values tour’s third incarnation marks the event’s return after taking last year off. The second, 1999 version of the tour was headlined by Limp Bizkit, and featured returning act Staind.
