Korn remain one of the most active U.S. rock exports on the road. As the band extend their touring behind the studio album Requiem into late 2025 and early 2026, fans in the United States and abroad see a sustained run of arena and festival shows.

Where Korn play next

The current touring cycle for Requiem has taken Korn through North American arenas, European festivals and selected dates in Latin America and Asia, with new shows added as the band moves into 2026. Several U.S. appearances sit alongside headline and co-headline slots overseas.

In the U.S., Korn focus on major markets with indoor arenas and amphitheaters that suit their heavy, groove-driven sound, giving American fans repeat chances to see the band after the initial 2022 and 2023 legs. Internationally, European metal and rock festivals remain key stops.

How the Requiem era took shape

Requiem, released in February 2022, marked Korn's 14th studio album and introduced a more compact tracklist with a runtime under half an hour, contrasting with some of the band's longer records. The songs build on the down-tuned riff language that defined their 1990s breakthrough.

The touring around Requiem has gradually folded in deeper cuts from earlier albums, creating a set that balances new material with staples from works like Follow the Leader and Issues. That mix anchors their arena appeal for long-term fans and newer listeners alike.

The musical core of Korn

Korn emerged from Bakersfield, California in the mid-1990s with a sound built on seven-string guitars, hip-hop-informed rhythms and confessional lyrics that helped define the nu-metal wave. Their blend of heavy riffs and rhythmic vocal phrasing became a U.S. mainstream rock template.

Current career status

Korn are currently active as a touring and recording band with no publicly announced final show, continuing to build on the Requiem cycle while working within their established lineup.
