They are regarded as pioneers, trailblazers and co-founders of nu metal. With their debut album in 1994, Korn achieved a sensational success and became one of the most influential rock bands in a completely new genre. Jonathan Davis and his bandmates have previously delighted their Munich fans in various clubs and smaller venues. Now, the veteran masters of nu metal are coming to the Olympic Hall for the first time.

When friends Reginald Arvizu and Brian Welch formed a band in their Californian hometown of Bakersfield in the early 1990s, there was no way of knowing that it would go on to become perhaps the most influential band in a new genre. With James Shaffer as the other guitarist, David Silveria on drums and Jonathan Davis on vocals, their debut album ‘Korn’ became a double-platinum-selling hit. Both ‘Q’ magazine and Rolling Stone later listed the album among the Best and Greatest Metal Albums of All Time. What reviewers at the time described as a “testosterone-fuelled, ultra-aggressive hybrid of metal and rap” soon established itself under the new genre label of nu metal.

“Follow The Leader” propelled Korn to number one on the Billboard charts for the first time in 1998, whilst in Germany the band reached the top of the album charts with “Untouchables” in 2002. And in 2022, with “Requiem”, they proved that even after three decades, they are still playing in the top league of nu and alternative metal. Fans can see this for themselves live on 19 October at the Olympic Hall.

Korn will be joined by Architects as special guests and Youth Code as the opening act.
