We’ve got two full days in 2016 with over 40 bands, more stages, more camping, new VIP amenities, and an upgraded food experience. This is turning into something really special up North, and we’ve got the loyal rock audience to thank for it.”
“Areee Youuu Readyyy!!? Come rock with us in the Great White North. Korn can’t wait for the Northern Invasion!” says Korn’s James “Munky” Schaffer.
Chevelle’s Sam Loeffler says, “We are super excited to play Northern Invasion 2016! Be prepared!! We’re going to rock new Chevelle songs from the upcoming release and, of course, play the fan favorites.”
