Korn and Evanescence have announced that they will be launching a co-headlining tour across the US this summer. Both bands teased the big news earlier this week on social media by posting the same cryptic video by Nate Hill.

The 18-city run — with soon-to-be-announced special guests — will kick-off on August 16 at Ball Arena in Denver, CO, making stops across the US in Boston, Chicago, Houston and more before wrapping up in Ridgefield, WA on September 16. Korn and Evanescence previously toured together back in 2007, on Korn’s Family Values Tour.

Korn frontman Jonathan Davis said: “We’re looking forward to going on tour this summer and bringing our friends, Evanescence, out. Whenever Amy comes to one of our shows, I always love seeing her on the side of the stage watching the whole set and rocking out. We’re gonna have a great time on this tour, and we can’t wait to see you there.”

Evanescence vocalist Amy Lee added, “I fell hard into Korn’s music in high school. It was an inspiration during the formation of my own band. The chances we’ve had to play together over the years are special, a part of our history. They remain one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen. It’s an honor and a thrill to go out with our friends again, our first full tour together since ‘07. We’re all really looking forward to this.”

Following the postponement of their spring tour, Greta Van Fleet has announced rescheduled dates for later this year. The band took to social media to make the announcement, writing, “North America – we are pleased to finally share the dates for the rescheduled Dreams In Gold performances. Thank you for your patience, we can’t wait to reunite: Tickets from the original dates are valid. Refunds available at point of purchase.”

The band announced in early March they had to postpone the tour after guitarist Jake Kiszka contracted pneumonia. The band had issued an official statement at the time, saying: “We are disheartened to announce that the shows from March 22nd through April 2nd must be rescheduled for the health and safety of our brother, Jake. We recognize how upsetting this news is and share your disappointment.”

Danny Boyle’s Pistol, the FX limited series about the Sex Pistols, will make its streaming premiere on May 31, exclusively on Hulu in the U.S.

Pistol is centered around Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones, and is based from the founding member’s 2017 memoir Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol.  An official description of the series reads: “This is the story of a band of spotty, noisy, working-class kids with ‘no future,’ who shook the boring, corrupt Establishment to its core, threatened to bring down the government and changed music and culture forever.”

Pistol stars Toby Wallace as Jones, rounding out the band with Anson Boon as Johnny Rotten, Louis Partridge as Sid Vicious, Jacob Slater as Paul Cook, and Christian Lees as Glen Matlock.

Pistol received heavy pushback from Johnny Rotten — aka John Lydon — who referred to the series as “the most disrespectful sh** I’ve ever had to endure” and threatened legal action against what he considered to be an unauthorized series in an interview with The Sunday Times.
