KoRn announce first UK and Ireland tour in over a decade with more 2026 European dates

KoRn have announced a new headline tour, which will see them play across the UK and Europe later this year – check out ticket details below.

The new dates mark the first time that the nu-metal giants have toured on these shores in over 10 years, and come just over a year after they played a huge headline performance at the 2025 edition of Download Festival.

Dates kick off with an opening night in Stuttgart on October 18, before continuing later that month with shows in Munich, Cologne, and Paris. From there, six shows are scheduled for the UK and Ireland, starting with arena gigs in Leeds, Birmingham, Newcastle and Manchester at the end of October, and continuing with shows in Dublin and London at the start of November.

The tour wraps up with further European shows, including stops in Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Milan and more.

Tickets will go on sale on Friday (March 20) at 8am GMT, and pre-sale options will be available from tomorrow (Tuesday March 17). Visit here for UK tickets, and here for international tickets.

The new UK and European dates carry on from a run of other live dates KoRn have planned for 2026, including a tour of South American with Spiritbox, which kicks off in May.

Before then, they will also be headlining Sick New World alongside System Of A Down in April. Others on that bill include Bring Me The Horizon, Evanescence, Marilyn Manson, Ministry, AFI, Knocked Loose, Danny Elfman, Acid Bath, Cypress Hill, Melvins, Mastodon and Underoath.

Jonathan Davis and co.’s last studio album, ‘Requiem’, came out in February 2022. In a four-star review, NME said: “It would be a push to call this Korn’s first ‘happy’ album. More accurately, ‘Requiem’ has brought something new to a discography that, until now, has been an exploration of human suffering. It’s led to the band’s most nuanced record to date.”

Back in December 2024, guitarist Brian “Head” Welch shared an update on new music from the band, saying it was “not gonna be soon”.
