Slapshock was chosen as the opening act of this year’s biggest rock event, KORN LIVE in Manila.  This will be at the Araneta Coliseum on August 10, 2011 at 8 p.m.. It will be the band’s second time to share the stage with KORN as they both played at the Dubai Desert Rock Fest in 2008.  According to the band, experiencing a KORN concert is a must for every rock fan. These guys play better and heavier as they age. To all the rap metal heads, Nu-metal heads and all Pinoy rockers out there, we’ve waited more than a decade for this, see you all at the mosh!!

Slapshock will NOT be playing at this year’s PULP SUMMERSLAM  XI : RESURRECTION because of conflict of sponsors.  RedHorse Beer which is a staunch supporter of Pulp Summer Slam since its inception is not this year’s main presentor and Slapshock as an endorser of Redhorse cannot play in an event of a competing brand.  We would love to play for Summer Slam as always but this time we are caught in  some legality issues. Hope the fans understand.

Slapshock was awarded Favorite MYX Live Performance at the recently concluded MYX Awards 2011 last March 15, 2011 held at the Music Museum in Greenhills.  The band was nominated in 3 categories namely Favorite Song for Carino Brutal, Favorite Myx Live Performance and favorite Group.  14 years in the music industry, Slapshock once again proved they are not slowing or mellowing down.  Their high octane energy performance and stage antics in every show they have is the band’s signature and arsenal that makes them still one of the most exciting live acts in the country today.

Slapshock will open up for the Deftones’ Diamond Eyes Tour Manila on Feb. 12, 2010 at the World Trade Center. The band is more than privileged to finally share the stage with one of their all time musical heroes.  Slapshock in their early formative years was playing  Deftones cover songs such as 7 Words, Engine No. 9 and Teething , way back 1996 .  The band members are all hyped up and they promise to deliver another intense performance in this once in a lifetime musical experience.  Get your tickets now and see you at the pit!

Slapshock again brings pride to our country as they again represent the Philippines at the Macau Hush Full Band Music Festival on Nov. 13, 2010 at the CCM Art Paza together with artists from Beijing, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and New Delhi. This event is organized by the Macao Cultural Center. See related article..
