Korn Return to the UK and Ireland After a Decade Away

Korn Announce 2026 UK & Ireland Tour — First Shows in Over a Decade with Architects and Youth Code

Usually, people want what’s hard to get — and Korn clearly got that message, as they disappeared from the UK for over a decade. If that rule holds true, you might want to grab tickets quickly, because Korn are back and finally returning to the UK throughout October and November. Joining them on the road: Architects and Youth Code.

What would nu metal be without Korn? Almost unimaginable —and that is what true pioneering looks like. More than 30 years ago, in 1994, Korn released their self-titled debut album and proved to the world that metal had other sides too. Since then, they have become both a blueprint and a mentor for generations of aspiring artists. With over 40 million albums sold — and streaming numbers that barely need mentioning — their influence is difficult to ignore. They even stepped beyond the tight-knit niche of metal into the mainstream and collected two Grammys along the way.

Boundary pushers and rule breakers — that’s how it works. And now they’re returning to the UK, giving long-awaiting fans the chance to watch the pioneers at work.

Presale tickets will be available starting Tuesday, March 17th at 8AM. General on-sale tickets will be available on Friday, March 20th at 8AM GMT via livenation.co.uk.
