To mark the release of his debut solo album CMFT, Corey Taylor will showcase a full arena production concert live-stream at LA’s The Forum.
The release of Corey Taylor‘s CMFT is almost upon us, and he is marking the event in a very Corey Taylor way. On October 2nd, coinciding with the release of what is his debut solo album, Corey Taylor will perform a global live-stream concert at The Forum in Los Angeles.
Titled Forum Or Against ‘Em, the stream will feature a full-scale arena production. The set-list includes the entirety of CMFT, select songs from the respective discographies of Slipknot and Stone Sour, as well as covers. The pay-per-view show will also have special access to a pre-show featuring exclusive footage and interviews.
“I’ve been saying since the beginning I’d find a way to bring this music and this band to the people,” Taylor said in a press release. “And I’m honored that The Forum let us do just that. It’s CMFT in its entirety. It’s songs I’ve shared over the years. It’s a celebration, and I’m so stoked to party with all of you.”
In a trailer accompanying the release announcement, Taylor reminisces his first performance at The Forum.
“The first time I played The Forum was 2001. It was right after 9/11,” he says. “Crazy things were happening. The air was really thick with tension. People needed the show. They needed that release. It feels a lot like right now.”
“People need music like this in their lives,” He continues. “People need something to look forward to, like this. From a personal standpoint, I’ve been waiting my whole life to play this show.”

For long-time fans of Taylor, CMFT marks a new era in his glittering career. Speaking to Forbes earlier this year about how CMFT ‘reinspired’ him, Taylor said: “It’s the first time in a long time that I was surrounded by people who wanted to make music for the same reason that I did, and that was just to make incredible music, being excited about the opportunity to make something massive.”
