Korn keep their live machine running into 2026 with more shows behind Requiem. According to the band’s official tour schedule and major ticketing listings, the nu-metal veterans are booked for a new North American run plus European festival appearances next year.
New North American shows for 2026
The current tour plans see Korn returning to U.S. arenas and amphitheaters in 2026, with routing built around major markets and summer festival weekends. Ticketing pages list multiple North American dates stretching through the year, underlining continued demand for the band’s live show.
Key U.S. stops include large-capacity venues where Korn have a proven track record as a headliner, mirroring their recent domestic tours. Fans can expect a mix of career-spanning material, from 1990s staples to newer songs from Requiem, in a set that typically runs well past 90 minutes.
European festivals and international routing
Beyond the U.S., Korn are also locked in for major European festivals, reflecting their sustained draw across the continent. Dates at leading rock and metal events place them high on the bill alongside current heavyweights and legacy acts.
The 2026 itinerary follows the pattern of recent years, with the band moving between North America and Europe and targeting markets where they have historically strong followings. Canadian and Latin American dates are frequently added around these runs, suggesting more international announcements could follow.

How Korn’s music translates live
Korn’s live sound blends the downtuned guitars and hip-hop inflections that defined their 1990s breakthrough with the more polished but still heavy production of albums like Requiem. On stage, that mix leans on groove, low-end punch and Jonathan Davis’s distinctive vocal dynamics.
Setlists typically stack early hits such as Blind and Freak on a Leash alongside later staples like Twisted Transistor and newer material. That balance keeps the shows relevant to younger fans while giving long-time listeners the catalog moments they expect.
Where the band stands now
