The big review: Good Things Festival 2024
Sydney gets rocked as Korn, Loathe, Sleeping With Sirens and more take a noisy pre-Christmas trip down under…
Munky will be heading home for a few Korn tour dates due to his wife's impending childbirth.
Unfortunately for Korn diehards, guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer will be sitting out of shows from August 6th to the 11th due to the impending birth of his child. His replacement will be JR Bareis of Spoken and formerly of Islander, who is also in the band Love And Death with Korn guitarist Brian “Head” Welch.
In an Instagram post, Munky explained the situation, writing: “Since our family is waiting any day now for the birth of our daughter, I won’t be performing starting on Tuesday August 6th through Sunday August 11th .I’ll be back in Detroit. I’m going to miss you all very much on those dates. But, you’re in great hands with our close friend and brother @jrbareis95 who is filling in for me…and of course the rest of @korn_official who will carry the load.
Thank you to all of our fans for your understanding and support!”
The dates Munky will be missing are as follows:
August
06 Wantagh, NY @ Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater
07 Holmdel, NJ @ PNC Bank Arts Center
09 Mansfield, MA @ Xfinity Center
10 Hartford, CT @ XFINITY Theatre
