If you'd like a little Korn in your Gojira, man does September end in a good way for you, buddy, as Korn's Kanada Tour 2025 komes — sorry — comes this way Monday, Sept. 29.
The two-time Grammy-winning Bakersfield, Calif., nu metal legends have been going since the grunge peak in 1993, smashing out mega-million hits like Freak on a Leash, Coming Undone, Falling Away from Me, Blind and, of course, those hilarious covers of Cameo's Word Up and the Another Brick in the Wall mashup on their greatest hits.
Indeed, with 40 million records sold worldwide, 14 of their songs have hit Billboard 200's top 10, wandering over the decades through groove metal, rap rock and a general fixation on pain and alienation that makes the band such an intense and personal fan favourite inside all that hooch smoke.
The band remains impressively core, co-founder members for the most part, including singer Jonathan Davis, guitarists Munky Shaffer and Head, with Ray Luzier drumming since the early Obama years.
The eight-date Canuck marathon starting Sept. 17 in Ottawa and ending Oct. 1 in Vancouver will be warmed up by French prog/technical death metal act Gojira — the first-ever heavy metal band to perform at an Olympics opening ceremony, last year in Paris. We'll also get to know Liverpool's Loathe, so it looks like a pretty punchy night overall.
General admission tickets are yours to grab starting at 10 a.m. Friday, with the usual artist pre-sales and so on throughout the week. Head to for all your super-fan needs and Friday.
