The moment nu-metal fans have braced for — and quietly hoped would never come — has finally arrived. **Korn** have officially announced their **2026 World Tour**, confirmed as the band’s **final global run**, bringing a seismic close to one of heavy music’s most influential and culture-shifting careers.
After more than three decades of redefining what metal could sound, feel, and confront, Korn’s farewell tour is being positioned not as a goodbye driven by decline — but as a deliberate, powerful final statement. From underground beginnings in the mid-1990s to becoming architects of an entire genre, the band has chosen to exit on their own terms.
The 2026 tour will span **North America, Europe, South America, and select dates in Asia and Australia**, with stops planned in major arenas and historic outdoor venues. According to sources close to the band, the production will be one of the most ambitious of their career — blending raw early-era aggression with the cinematic scale of their later years. Longtime fans can expect deep cuts, era-defining anthems, and emotionally charged performances that reflect the band’s full journey.
In a brief but heavy statement, the band shared: *“Korn has always been about honesty — the pain, the healing, the connection. This tour is our way of honoring every moment we’ve shared with you.”* No talk of reunions. No promises beyond 2026.
For a generation raised on detuned riffs, cathartic lyrics, and unapologetic vulnerability, this tour marks the end of an era. Korn didn’t just soundtrack anger and alienation — they gave it a voice when few others would.
Tickets are expected to sell fast, with presales launching later this year. One last circle pit. One last roar. One final descent into the darkness — together.
