Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour) has announced his previously teased 2021 solo tour through the U.S. this spring. Dubbed ‘CMFTour,’ the 19-date trek kicks off on May 18th at The Marquee Backyard in Tempe, AZ, and will see Taylor and his band performing for fans “socially distanced and following state recommended health guidelines,” as per today’s announcement.
A press release adds, “Taylor decided to launch this tour for a few significant and personal reasons. As always, he endeavors to deliver an unforgettable show for fans, but just as importantly, he recognizes the massive impact that the ongoing global pandemic has had on live music venues and touring crews alike. It upholds his staunch commitment to supporting live music and the industry surrounding it as illustrated last year through his popular eBay guitar auction, which raised $150,000 for COVID-19 relief, and his COVID-19 safe secret L.A. show benefiting Sweet Relief Musicians Fund—a 501(c)(3) non-profit healing musicians and music industry workers in need.”
The presser continues to say, “As for the show itself, Taylor and his band will run through anthems from his critically acclaimed solo debut CMFT, choice cuts from his Slipknot and Stone Sour catalogs, and various covers and surprises. Additionally, girl gang dance squad The Cherry Bombs will kick off each night of the tour with a high octane, high flying performance.”
