After more than a year without concerts (in person) the last half of 2021 promises to be a windfall for concerts. Both for concert-goers, like you and me, and the artists themselves. Imagine the energy at the shows when everyone can finally be together again with the waves of sound washing over you, feeding off the energy from the stage just as the artists are feeding off the energy from the crowd. I don't know about you, but that's one experience I don't want to miss.

And who better to see for that first show, than KORN & Staind at Darien Lake? It's happening. Tuesday night August 24th is the date, and tickets go on sale Friday, May 14th, 10 am.

If you haven't seen KORN in concert, it's an experience that stands apart from any other show I've ever been to. Jonathan Davis's voice is as strong as it's ever been. While guitarists James “Munky” Shaffer and Brian “Head” Welch may not headbang in unison anymore, they can still play the hell out of their axes.

With Staind back together, after those five years they took a break (most likely for Aaron Lewis to pursue that career in Country music that never solidified) it should be a great show. Especially since we're not seeing them in the early part of the tour. It'll give them a chance to work out any kinks and put on a solid show at Darien Lake.

Here's the rest of the schedule. You know, in case you want to see them more than once.
