TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, The Netherlands13th June 2016
Korn + support (t.b.a.)
KORN is known as one of the legendary founders of the nu-metal genre. With their estranging, dark and most of all rock-hard combination of metal and hip-hop they inspire bands such as LIMP BIZKIT and SLIPKNOT. And more importantly: the band still evolves into new directions. For ‘The Path of Totality’ (2011) they worked with SKRILLEX and other EDM artists. After the celebration of their 20-year existence, a new album of KORN is expected in 2016 – All children of the KORN unite!

Textures
TEXTURES already released two albums of unrivalled progressive metal before anyone even came up with the term ‘Djent metal’. From their debut album ‘Polars’ they have grown from using strong influences from their heroes of MESHUGGAH to developing their very own sound. Three more successful albums followed, awarding them with worldwide headlining tours from The Netherlands all the way to India. Their sound diverges from calculated chaos to progressive episodes and ambient intermezzos. In 2016 the new album ‘Phenotype’ is to be expected which is a double album with ‘Genotype’ to be released the year after. Only two club shows in their home country this February – don’t miss out!
