Korn will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album with a huge show at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on October 5, 2024.
The lineup includes Evanescence, Gojira, Daron Malakian, Spiritbox, and Vended.
Fans are disappointed it’s a one-off show in LA, with no tour planned.

The Gist

Korn isn’t one to let their 30th anniversary of that self-titled debut just slip by quietly. They’ve decided to throw a massive bash at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on October 5, 2024. Just one show. One. Yeah, try not to roll your eyes too hard. It’s LA, of course. But at least the lineup is stacked: Evanescence, Gojira, Daron Malakian (yep, him from Scars on Broadway), Spiritbox, and even Vended are along for the ride.

Jonathan Davis got all sentimental—again. “Reflecting on thirty years of Korn fills me with immense gratitude…” blah blah blah. Gratitude? Sure. But fans? Mixed feelings. Some of them are seriously peeved about the lack of a full tour. One disgruntled soul summed it up: “Why is it always in LA?” Yeah, exactly. Why?

And of course, there’s the obligatory VIP package—because why not squeeze every last cent out of a nostalgic crowd? Not just a pit ticket, no. We’re talking a Korn museum (with never-before-seen memorabilia), custom Adidas gear, and even Korn Koffee. Yes, that’s a real thing. It’s basically a super fan’s dream… if you can stomach all the korny extras.

Fans who’ve been around since the ‘90s might feel a twinge of nostalgia for the days when this band played grimy clubs. Those were the days, huh? And now? They’ve ballooned into stadium headliners. Gotta hand it to ‘em, they know how to milk this anniversary like pros.

But, one show? LA? C’mon. The band’s been relatively quiet lately, aside from some dates in Europe and a slot at Louder Than Life. So for American fans? This might be it.

If you want to snag a ticket, you should’ve acted fast. The VIP experience sold out in a flash (no surprise). It’s the kind of anniversary where you’re either in, or you’re out. At least Korn’s keeping it loud, whether you love it or not.

Event Details:

When: October 5, 2024
Where: BMO Stadium, Los Angeles
With: Evanescence, Gojira, Daron Malakian & Scars on Broadway, Spiritbox, Vended

This might be your last chance to scream along to “Blind” with a few thousand strangers. What better way to mark the 30th than with a blowout like this? Just don’t ask for a tour—you’ll only get disappointment.
