“We’re really excited to perform at this year’s awards and are looking forward to seeing all our fans in Cleveland,” says Korn frontman Jonathan Davis. “I performed at the first ever APMAs back in 2014 with Asking Alexandria, and it’s been awesome to watch how this show has grown over the years.”

On July 17, 2017, the fourth annual Journeys Alternative Press Music Awards will return to AP’s hometown and the birthplace of rock 'n' roll, Cleveland, OH. The main event will once again take place at Quicken Loans Arena, home of 2016 NBA Champions, the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 2017 APMAs will be hosted by alternative culture superstar Andy Biersack (of Andy Black, Black Veil Brides and star of the upcoming film American Satan) and showcase a refreshed, produced-for-television atmosphere to fully immerse fans in the action.
