Korn and Alice in Chains in Birmingham

Korn’s last show in Birmingham was in 2016. Alice and Chains played in 2018 at the BJCC. Want to know how many times they’ve toured here together? None. I feel good about this rock pairing and my mind is already blown thinking about possible collab scenarios between the two bands onstage. Yup. I’m in.

You in, Birmingham? Let us know what you think about this co-headliner combo and if you’re planning on going to the July 23 show at Oak Mountain Amphitheater. Hit us up on social @BhamNow
