Korn have been announced as replacements for Faith No More on System Of A Down’s U.S. tour. Faith No More were originally scheduled to co-headline the tour of the U.S. West Coast, but earlier this week frontman Mike Patton announced that due to mental health issues he would be unable to perform. In a message to fans, Mike’s Faith No More bandmates said that the disappointment of cancelling is​“an understatement”, but that their friend’s wellbeing is their priority.

System of a Down made the announcement on social media: “Our friends in @Korn are now joining us for our upcoming shows in Vegas, Fresno, and Oakland ahead of our @BancStadium weekend. We look forward to seeing you in one month. Head to http://systemofadown.com/tour for tickets.”
