Tour, charts and catalog overview for Korn
Readers who want a broader picture of Korn’s touring history and chart performance can find additional background and past coverage in our internal archive and on the band’s official channels.
What defines Korn’s sound and catalog
Korn emerged from Bakersfield, California, in the mid-1990s and became one of the defining bands of the nu-metal movement. Their self-titled debut Korn (1994) and follow-up Life Is Peachy (1996) introduced a low-tuned, percussive guitar sound, field recordings and Jonathan Davis’s highly emotional, often fractured vocal delivery.
With Follow the Leader (1998) and Issues (1999), Korn expanded their palette, mixing hip-hop elements, bagpipes, and more pronounced hooks while maintaining a heavy rhythmic core. These albums consolidated their status in both the US and Germany, with Issues reaching the top 10 of the German album charts and eventually earning a BVMI Gold certification for 250,000 units sold.
Where Korn stand now and what’s next
With the Euro Tour 2026 kicking off on October 18, 2026, in Stuttgart, the next officially confirmed live date for fans is that Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle show, which anchors the start of the run.
