Korn announce huge Leeds gig on first UK tour in a decade

With some VERY special guests.

Daisy Jackson - 16th March 2026

Korn have announced a major Manchester gig as part of a new UK tour – their first in more than a decade.

The nu metal legends will be heading to the First Direct Bank Arena later this year, making a monumental return to British shores.

And they’ve announced very special guests will be joining them on the tour too – support will come from Architects, as well as Youth Code.

Korn burst onto the scene back in 1991 with their seminal self-titled debut album, and have gone on to release a whopping 14 studio albums.

The Californian group have sold more than 40 million albums worldwide, collected two Grammy Awards, and headed out on countless world tours.

They’re often cited by newer bands as a major influence and have pushed the limits of the rock, alternative and metal genres.

The Ringer has described Korn as ‘a genuine movement in a way bands cannot be now’.

As well as performing in Leeds, Korn will play at venues across the UK including in Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, and London.

They’ll be joined by Architects, a British metalcore band who have continued to top the charts even after the tragic death of founding member, guitarist, and principal songwriter Tom Searle.

Korn will be at our very own First Direct Bank Arena on Monday 26 October, with pre-sale tickets available from Tuesday 17 March at 8am, before a general on-sale from Friday 20 March at 8am.

Run, don't walk - as we reckon these tickets will fly off the shelves.
