THE LIVE SHOW
What Korn concerts are like
A Korn show is heavy from the first note. The band tunes so low that the bass is felt as much as heard, and the floor turns into a pit for Blind, Freak on a Leash and Falling Away From Me.
Jonathan Davis sings into his famous biomechanical microphone stand, designed by the artist H.R. Giger, and plays the bagpipes during Shoots and Ladders, one of the most recognisable moments in any Korn set. Newer songs such as Cold and Start the Healing sit alongside the nineties classics.
Tips for the Birmingham show
- Earplugs are strongly recommended; the low end is extremely loud near the front.
- When Blind starts with 'Are you ready?', the front of the floor moves all at once, so pick your spot beforehand.
New to the music? The self-titled debut Korn and Follow the Leader together cover most of the songs fans wait for.

Travelling to Birmingham for the concert
