September 14, 2001

As a result and in observance of the recent tragedy, the Pledge of Allegiance Tour -- featuring co-headliners Slipknot and System of a Down -- has postponed its kick off date to September 21 in Denver, CO at the Denver Coliseum. At the same time, the multi-band arena tour is dedicating the trek to the innocent victims and their families. Named in honor of the fans who have fiercely expressed their support and loyalty to bands like Slipknot (who will close the show) and System of a Down, the tour and its name have taken on an expanded meaning for the bands in light of this week's horrific events.

The 30-show tour was set to launch September 14 in Chicago, IL. The scheduled shows in Chicago IL, St. Paul MN, Madison WI and Cedar Rapids IA are being moved into October, while the itinerary still culminates on Halloween (October 31) in East Rutherford, NJ at the Continental Airlines Arena. The other bands appearing on the lineup are Rammstein and Mudvayne, along with alternating opening acts No One and American Head Charge.
