Korn<\/a> have returned to the British Isles for the first time since headlining Download festival in June 2025.<\/p>\n

The Bakersfield nu metal<\/a> pioneers put on their first of six shows in England and the Republic Of Ireland on Monday (October 26), where they played an 18-song set including such 90s hits as Blind, Freak On A Leash and Falling Away From Me at First Direct Bank Arena in Leeds.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They also dusted off 1996 rarity Chi, which before this tour hadn\u2019t played since 2013, and Kill You, unplayed since 2007. See the full setlist and watch videos below.<\/p>\n

Korn are still touring to promote their 2022 album Requiem, though they haven\u2019t played any songs from the record on this run. However, they have been performing Reward The Scars, the single they put out in April in collaboration with role-playing videogame Diablo IV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whether the song will make the tracklisting of the band\u2019s next record, their 15th overall, remains to be seen. Last month, Ray Luzier\u2019s technician revealed that the drummer has recorded his parts for the release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Korn\u2019s 15th album will be their first without co-founding bassist Reginald \u201cFieldy\u201d Arvizu, who parted ways with the band shortly after completing his work on Requiem. Roberto \u201cRa\u201d D\u00edaz has been filling in live since late 2021. This year, Fieldy explained why and his former bandmates parted ways, revealing that it came down to his refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine, and his resultant inability to tour internationally.<\/p>\n

\u201cCOVID happened,\u201d he told the Shady Characters podcast. \u201cThat\u2019s it. I\u2019m like, \u2018I\u2019m not going out there.\u2019 That\u2019s what happened, \u2019cause it was new. Now. I didn\u2019t get vaccinated or anything \u2013 but when you reflect on it, that\u2019s what happened. They\u2019re like, \u2018We\u2019re going to Florida,\u2019 and I\u2019m like, \u2018I\u2019m not going to get vaccinated. I\u2019m not going.\u2019 I go, \u2018People, this is weird right now.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
