Galeej Gurus have been around for 12 years and have opened for Korn at the Dubai Rock Festival. They have been on the circuit since 2000 and have played over 500 gigs within and outside the country.

According to Kamarjeet Singh, Senior Vice President, MOOZ Entertainment, “Korn is known for pushing the envelope and bending genres - from Nu-metal to Dubstep, they have molded metal and given it twists that are a rage with the young. We are excited to partner with Bookmyshow.com and expect a record turnout in all three cities. In addition, we are proud to offer opportunities to local talents to perform the opening gigs for the concert, and also ensure fans experience a concert that will rival international standards.”

At every step of the way, we engage our patrons with a smooth, super-fast and hassle-free experience. As a music buff, I am looking forward to the KORN concert, as are most music fans in the country. The energy, the music and the people will all culminate to make an astounding experience.

Korn released their path-breaking  10th studio album, ‘The Path of Totality’ in December 2011, which saw the band collaborate with numerous Dubstep/drum and bass/electronic dance music producers including Skrillex, Noisia, 12th Planet and Excision. The fusion of metal and electronic dance music was a sharp departure from the band’s erstwhile nu-metal sound and debuted in the Top Ten on the Billboard charts, earning accolades from music lovers across the globe.
