Be the opening DJ act for Korn
About Korn
Korn are no strangers to revolution or innovation though. In fact, they've been purveyors of heavy music's progression since forming in Bakersfield, CA in 1994 and becoming one of the most influential entities that the genre has ever seen.
Their legendary self-titled debut took the world by storm with its schizophrenic metallic catharsis. No one had ever played heavy music with such personal lyrics and funked-out grooves. Immediately, they earned a place in the hearts of fans across the globe. However, their third offering, 1998's Follow the Leader, bridged the gap between hip hop and heavy metal seamlessly. It also solidified them as inspirational innovators.
Numerous acts "followed the leader," and heavy metal underwent a renaissance in the early 2000's with Korn at the forefront. Slipknot, Staind, Disturbed and countless others nodded to the group as an inspiration. In addition, they've garnered two Grammy Awards— one for Best Short Form Video for "Freak on a Leash" from Follow the Leader and one for Best Metal Performance for "Here to Stay" from 2002’s Untouchables—and sold 35 million albums worldwide.

Korn usher in a new horizon for heavy music with their new album 'The Path of Totality'. Collaborating with dubstep heavyweights Skrillex, Excision, Downlink, Noisia, Feed Me, 12th Planet and Flinch, Korn have constructed a hypnotic hybrid of dubstep and metal. Infusing dubstep anarchy into their signature sound, the legendary quartet stand on the cusp of a musical revolution for both hard rock and electronica. Bouncing from polyrhythmic guitar pummeling into drastic electro drops, the music is dark, dangerous and definitive Korn.
