In celebration of their milestone 30th anniversary, KORN will perform a once-in-a-lifetime show at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 5, 2024
This one-night-only performance will feature special guests EVANESCENCE, GOJIRA, DARON MALAKIAN AND SCARS ON BROADWAY, SPIRITBOX and VENDED.
KORN changed the world with the release of their self-titled debut album in 1994. It was a record that would pioneer a genre, and blur others-leading into a larger cultural movement. Since forming, the band has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide, collected two Grammys, toured the world countless times, and set many records in the process that will likely never be surpassed. KORN has continued to push the limits of the rock, alternative and metal genres, while remaining a pillar of influence for legions of fans, and generations of artists around the globe.
KORN singer Jonathan Davis states: “Reflecting on thirty years of KORN fills me with such immense gratitude for our journey, the growth we’ve experienced, and the incredible bond we share with our fans. It’s humbling to see how our music has touched so many lives across the globe. From our small club beginnings to now headlining stadiums, it’s been an unforgettable ride, and we owe it all to our amazing, undying, loyal community that’s made it possible. I’m really looking forward to this incredible night to celebrate together.” –

Exciting news is on the horizon for KORN fans, as guitarist Brian “Head” Welch hinted at the release of new music from the iconic band in the upcoming year. Speaking in September, Welch shared the anticipated revelation, paving the way for a fresh musical chapter from KORN in the near future. Notably, the guitarist also hinted at the above reveal of a potential “celebration” to mark the 30th anniversary of the group’s debut album in 2024.
Welch‘s return to the fold in 2013 marked a significant moment in the band’s history. A decade ago, he rejoined the group, eight years after his initial departure. This return coincided with Welch‘s public declaration of overcoming addiction and embracing a born-again Christian lifestyle. His personal transformation added a layer of depth to KORN‘s narrative, showcasing resilience and growth within the band.
In a parallel narrative, bassist Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu underwent a highly publicized conversion experience, revealing a new direction in his life. However, in June 2021, Fieldy announced his decision to step away from KORN’s tour to address and “heal” from a relapse into some “bad habits.” SUICIDAL TENDENCIES bassist Roberto “Ra” Díaz stepped in as Fieldy‘s replacement on the road.
Despite facing challenges and changes within the band, KORN released their latest album, “Requiem,” in February 2022. Produced by Chris Collier and KORN, the album soared to the top of Billboard’s Hard Rock Albums chart, claiming the No. 1 spot. “Requiem” also secured the No. 2 positions on the Top Rock Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts, highlighting the band’s enduring popularity. Impressively, the album debuted at No. 14 on the all-format Billboard 200.
Notably absent from the band’s live performances for over two years, Fieldy did contribute to the creation of “Requiem.” Despite the physical distance, his musical presence resonated on the album, underscoring the collaborative nature of KORN‘s creative process.
