Korn remain a constant force on the heavy rock touring circuit. The band’s current live era around their latest studio album Requiem continues with headline dates and festival appearances across multiple continents, keeping their aggressive, melodic nu-metal sound in front of new and longtime fans.
Ongoing Requiem Tour activity
Since releasing Requiem in February 2022 through Loma Vista Recordings, Korn have built several tour legs around the album, including North American arena runs and European festival shows. These concerts mix new material with staples from Follow the Leader and Issues, underlining the band’s long catalog.
The recent tour phases have seen Korn co-headline and guest on bills with fellow heavy acts such as System Of A Down, Evanescence and Bring Me The Horizon, depending on region and date. This collaborative approach keeps them visible across different rock sub-scenes while anchoring their own identity.
Festival presence and global reach
Korn’s live schedule regularly includes major rock and metal festivals in Europe and beyond, from Rock am Ring and Rock im Park in Germany to Download in the UK and Hellfest in France. These slots underline their status as reliable draws for large open-air crowds.
Alongside festival shows, the band play their own headline dates in arenas and large theaters, often returning to markets like Los Angeles, New York, London and Berlin over successive tour cycles. Fans experience a compact set structure, balancing singles with deep cuts from across their discography.
