Korn to return to the UK and Ireland for 2026 tour

The six-date tour follows a handful of one-off UK performances for the band back in 2024, which saw them play their biggest-ever UK show at London’s Gunnersbury Park.

Beginning in Leeds on 26 October, Korn will continue through to Birmingham (28 October), followed by Newcastle (30 October), Manchester (31 October), and Dublin (2 November), before wrapping things up at London’s The O2 Arena on 4 November. They will be joined by Brighton metalcore band Architects, and Los Angeles EBM duo Youth Code.

While Korn have yet to release any new music since their 2022 album Requiem, they have teased that a fifteenth album is in the works, though they’re not in any rush, as the band’s present focus is on their live show.

In an interview with Loudwire just last month, vocalist and guitarist Brian “Head” Welch said: "I always told management that I wish that we would wait a little bit between albums. We're just so addicted to the studio that we get in there and we're putting albums out every two or three years, ever since I rejoined. And so I love that there's been delays.

“We're focusing right now on our live show ... It feels like we don't even need a new album. Everything's just going so well, but that's not to say we're not going to find some time to go in again. I feel like it's not priority right now."
