Corey Taylor announces ‘Forum Or Against ‘Em’ livestream
COREY TAYLOR has announced a special livestream event!
Titled Forum Or Against ‘Em, the special livestream event from the SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR frontman performing with his solo band at the iconic Los Angeles venue, The Forum, on October 2nd, the same day that his solo album, CMFT, will be released.
The livestream will be a full arena production complete with a visual feast of pyrotechnics, a stacked set list featuring all tracks from CMFT, select fan favourite cuts from Taylor’s SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR catalogues, a handful of covers and an incendiary guest performance from rock n’ roll girl-gang dance squad, THE CHERRY BOMBS. Special event merch and bundles will also be available during the stream. Kicking off the event’s festivities will be a special pre-show event hosted by presenter/journalist, Beez that will feature exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes footage. Tickets for the event can be purchased here.
Speaking about his upcoming streaming extravaganza, COREY TAYLOR says, “I’ve been saying since the beginning I’d find a way to bring this music and this band to the people. And I’m honoured that The Forum let us do just that. It’s CMFT in its entirety. It’s songs I’ve shared over the years. It’s a celebration, and I’m so stoked to party with all of you.”
In the rapidly evolving sphere of streamed events, Forum Or Against ‘Em is set to be an industry first, as COREY TAYLOR and his management team at 5B Artists + Media partner with Danny Wimmer Presents, the largest independent festival producer in the United State. In utilising The Forum for this special streaming event, the team are not only able to put together a world class rock extravaganza with a massive arena production, in total, they are also providing work to approximately 80 event staff.
Speaking on this ground breaking partnership, 5B Artist & Media Founder and CEO, Cory Brennan says, “when Corey sent me a text saying FORUM OR AGAINST ‘EM I knew we had something truly special and unique. The Forum is one of the most iconic venues in the world and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate his debut solo album!”
“To do a rock show on this scale, with an icon like COREY TAYLOR – while putting some of the behind-the-scenes heroes of the concert industry back to work – is an exciting step into the future,” says Danny Wimmer, Founder of Danny Wimmer Presents. “We believe that Pay-Per-View is here to stay and we couldn’t think of anyone better to help us launch our new digital platform than COREY TAYLOR. He’s a global star, and his music with SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR, as well as our amazing relationship with 5B, has helped to fuel DWP’s growth over the past decade. We can’t wait to get this show started.”
CMFT is set for release on October 2nd via Roadrunner Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
