The moment nu-metal fans have braced for — and hoped would never come — has finally arrived. Korn have officially announced their **2026 World Tour**, confirmed as the **final global run** of their legendary career, bringing a seismic close to one of metal’s most influential and genre-defining journeys.
Formed in Bakersfield, California in the early 1990s, Korn didn’t just help launch nu-metal — they **rewrote the rules of heavy music**. With their downtuned guitars, hip-hop rhythms, raw vulnerability, and unflinching emotional honesty, the band gave a voice to an entire generation that felt unheard. Albums like *Korn*, *Life Is Peachy*, *Follow the Leader*, and *Issues* became cultural landmarks, shaping not only metal but alternative music as a whole.
The 2026 farewell tour is expected to span **North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Australia**, delivering career-spanning setlists packed with anthems such as *Freak on a Leash*, *Blind*, *Falling Away From Me*, *Got the Life*, and *Here to Stay*. Longtime fans can also expect deeper cuts, rare live favorites, and emotional moments honoring the band’s three-decade legacy.
In a statement, the band described the tour as “a celebration, not a goodbye filled with sadness,” emphasizing gratitude for the fans who stood by them through every era, evolution, and reinvention. “This tour is for everyone who grew up with us, survived with us, and found themselves in the music,” the message read.
For millions, Korn were more than a band — they were a lifeline. Their music confronted trauma, alienation, and pain without filters, helping listeners feel seen when the world felt overwhelming.
As the final chapter approaches, one thing is certain: **Korn aren’t leaving quietly**. They’re going out the only way they know how — loud, honest, and unforgettable.
