Rappers DMX, Method Man, and Redman have confirmed that they will join Filter, Insane Clown Posse, and headliners Limp Bizkit on this year's Family Values tour, which could begin as early as September 17 and will run through November 6.

Fans got a bit of a taste of what this year's edition of Family Values might have in store at Woodstock '99 where DMX, Limp Bizkit, and Insane Clown Posse all took the stage. While DMX and ICP each offered hard-driving sets, Limp Bizkit's was undoubtedly the most talked-about of the three, as the band's performance was met by a violent swirl of crowd activity that led to the destruction of a couple of temporary structures on site. One 24-year-old woman has also claimed that she was raped in the mosh pit during the band's performance (see "Woodstock Organizers, Police Address Rape Cases").

The mood (and actions) of some in the Woodstock crowd grew even uglier as the weekend went on, yet the Limp Bizkit tour news raises some questions about whether or not such anarchy will follow the band on tour. The Family Values trek is set to visit arena-sized venues in major cities like New York, Detroit, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia, and insiders seem to think that Woodstock's bad vibes will stay in upstate New York.

Andy Cirzan, vice president of the concert division for Jam Productions in Chicago, told MTV News on Monday that it would be wrong to pinpoint the Family Values outing as a "lightning rod" for another violent Woodstock-type episode. He added that security is a major priority at all events, but noted that "kids will be kids."

For DMX, the tour will come after the rapper heads into the studio this month to record his third album, entitled "X: The Man, The Dog, The God." The album is due on December 18, but the rapper has also found the time to shoot the upcoming action film "Romeo Must Die," in which he plays a club owner named Silk.
