Hard rock band 10 Years was among the first acts confirmed for the second stage of this summer's The Family Values Tour, which launched July 27 in Virginia Beach, VA.
Perhaps for the first-time ever, a touring rock festival includes a 3-on-3 paintball competition for fans. In addition, batting cages, pitching cages and other activities are featured on all stops of the tour. Each individual market will also include special attractions.
"
In Denver, we will have stripper poles set up in the lawn," Korn's
Jonathan Davis said before the tour. "
In other markets, we have people setting up wading pools. We are really going to make sure this tour can be as much fun as possible."
To let people see how visceral and intense their live shows are, members of 10 Years have released the following live videos. They were shot in May 2006 by a friend of the band, Chad Calek, at the Whiskey a Go Go in LA, and are also available on the band's website and Myspace pages.
