Korn launched their Fall 2024 North American tour on Thursday night (September 12th) at MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa, Florida.
The outing, which features support from Gojira and Spirtbox, is scheduled through a through October 27th in St. Paul, Minnesota, with tickets available here.
At the Tampa kickoff, Korn played a career-spanning 18-song set, beginning with “Here to Stay” off 2002’s Untouchables. The nu-metal pioneers’ groundbreaking 1994 self-titled debut, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, was well represented with four songs: “Blind,” “Ball Tongue,” “Clown,” and “Shoots and Ladders.”
Meanwhile, frontman Jonathan Davis and company performed three songs each from classic ’90s albums Life Is Peachy, Follow the Leader, and Issues., with each album represented in three-song encore: “Falling Away From Me,” “Good God,” and the show-closing “Freak on a Leash.”
French metallers Gojira, who are coming off a mind-blowing performance at the Olympics opening ceremony in Paris, played 11 tunes, several of which made Heavy Consequence‘s recent list of the band’s 10 best songs. Leading into “Silvera,” Gojira played a bit of “Mea culpa (Ah! Ça ira!),” the song they played at the Olympics.
And rising Canadian metal act Spiritbox opened the evening with a six-song set, including the live debut of new stand-alone single “Soft Spine.”
