Promotion

The promotion for the American leg tour was very lackluster compared to Korn's others tour such as the Family Values Tour. Some believe that this was done on purpose to distinguish where the core base of the Korn fans were as most fan sites were the only real promotion for this tour.The European leg of this tour was successful due to most of the dates being sold out.
