Korn kicked off their 2024 North American tour with some rare cuts - including one classic song not played in 25 years

Jonathan Davis live on stage.

Last night (Thursday September 12), nu metal godfathers Korn officially kicked off the latest chapter of their 30th anniversary celebrations by touching down in Tampa, Florida for the first date of their 2024 North American tour. The Bakersfield boys - who are commemorating 30 years since the release of their game-changing 1994 self-titled debut album - were joined by French metal heavyweights Gojira and rising metalcore stars Spiritbox, marking the occasion by dusting off some rare Korn bangers.

Opening with setlist staple Here To Stay before launching into Follow The Leader classic Dead Bodies Everywhere - the song's first live performance since 2019 - Korn then proceeded to smash through an 18-song set that took in cuts from nine of their 14 studio albums. Amongst standard old school anthems such as Blind, Falling Away From Me and a set-closing Freak On A Leash was the rarely aired Oildale, the clear highlight from mostly forgotten 2010 album Korn III: Remember Who You Are, and newer songs such as Start The Healing from 2022's Requiem and Insane from 2016's The Serenity Of Suffering. Also dusted off was a particularly rare track, Hey Daddy, taken from 1999 album Issues and only ever previously played once almost 25 years ago.
