A show by rap-rock kingpins Korn at Les Schwab Amphitheater in Bend has been confirmed for Sept. 23, according to Monqui Presents, a promoter based in Portland.

Korn was one of the biggest (and first) stars of the nu-metal craze of the late 1990s, in which several bands found success combining heavy rock riffs and rapping. This summer, the band is touring behind its new, untitled album, which was released late last month.

Tickets for the show cost $39 plus service charges in advance and will go on sale tomorrow at 10 a.m. at all Ticketmaster outlets, including Joe’s (388-5595) and The Ticket Mill in the Old Mill District (318-5457) in Bend, as well as online at www.ticketmaster.com. Charge by phone at 866-866-4502.

The concert will begin at 5 p.m. with opening sets by Hell-yeah and Droid. Gates will open at 4 p.m.
