March 17, 2021, 3 years ago
Returning to the road in the safest possible socially distanced fashion, Grammy Award-winning singer / songwriter, actor, and New York Times Best-Selling Author, Corey Taylor has announced details of his CMFTour upcoming spring tour. The 19-date run will kick-off off on May 18 at The Marquee Backyard in Tempe, AZ and see Taylor and his band performing for fans socially distanced and following state recommended health guidelines.

Support on all dates comes from special guests The Cherry Bombs. For tickets, safety guidelines and more information on the upcoming concerts, visit thecoreytaylor.com.
Taylor decided to launch this tour for a few significant and personal reasons. As always, he endeavours 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.
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.
