Vans Warped Tour Headed To Japan in 2018

Is this 1998 or 2018? Because Warped Tour, which will have its final run next year, is arriving in Japan for two shows that will feature Korn, Prophets of Rage, and Limp Bizkit.

Presented by XFLAG, the Japanese version of the world's largest traveling live tour will take place on March 31 and April 1. For the first date, Korn, who’s never performed at the festival, will serve as the headliners. On the same day, Limp Bizkit, who played Warped Tour back in 1997, is also set to perform. Both Korn and Limp Bizkit were rock heavyweights in the late '90s. Korn leaned more on the hard rock, alternative-metal side while Limp Bizkit was part of the nu-metal, rap-rock movement. On April 1, supergroup Prophets of Rage, composed of members of Rage Against The Machine, Public Enemy, and Cypress Hill, are set to be the day’s headliners.

Korn’s latest release was their twelfth studio album, The Serenity of Suffering, which came out in late 2016. Limp Bizkit’s last record release was back in 2011 with Gold Cobra, their fifth overall and first in eight years at the time. Their follow-up to Gold Cobra, Stampede of the Disco Elephants, has seen many delays over the last few years. This past summer frontman Fred Durst said the album had been out for over a year and half online, but no one has seem to locate it. Prophets of Rage celebrated the release of their self-titled debut album this past September. They’re no strangers to festivals as they played several this year including, Chicago’s Riot Fest, Louisville’s Louder than Life, New Orleans’s Voodoo Music Experience, California’s Ozzfest Meets Knotfest, and most recently this month's KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas.
