The last time KoRn graced these shores was for the 2025 Download Festival, where the band played hits and cuts from their surprisingly… happy 2022 album Requiem. As for new music, the band haven’t revealed any details of a follow up ahead of these late 2026 tour dates — but a tour of this scale is usually accompanied by some sort of new music.
