Korn Kicks Off 2024 Tour with a Nostalgic Setlist in Tampa

Korn’s North American tour kicked off last night, and for those of us who’ve been around long enough to remember them actually playing these songs when they first dropped, it was a bit of a nostalgia trip—whether we asked for it or not. With everyone and their grandmother out here doing anniversary tours and digging up deep cuts, Korn decided to jump on that bandwagon too. And hey, it wasn’t half bad.

The lucky folks at the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa got to hear “Hey Daddy” live for the first time since 1999. Yes, you read that right—1999. That’s two decades of dormancy for a track off the Issues album.

Add to that “Dead Bodies Everywhere” from Follow the Leader, dusted off for the first time since 2019, and Korn III’s “Oildale (Leave Me Alone)” making a rare appearance. The kicker? This was the first time Brian “Head” Welch played it live, considering he wasn’t even in the band when they first recorded it. Ah, the joys of lineup changes.

Thanks to the sleuths over at Setlist.fm, we’ve got the whole tracklist from the night, and honestly, it’s a mixed bag of old school and new(ish). Here’s what they threw down:

1. Here to Stay
2. Dead Bodies Everywhere (First time live since 2019)
3. Got the Life
4. Hey Daddy (First time live since 1999)
5. A.D.I.D.A.S.
6. Start the Healing
7. Blind
8. Ball Tongue
9. Clown
10. Shoots and Ladders (with a snippet of Metallica’s “One”)
11. Twist
12. Make Me Bad
13. Insane
14. Oildale (Leave Me Alone) (First time since 2012, first time with Head on guitar)
15. Y’All Want a Single
16. Falling Away From Me
17. Good God
18. Freak on a Leash

Seeing them mix these old gems with some of their newer material shows the band still knows how to feed both the OG fans and the newcomers. Sure, the rawness might have softened a bit over the years, but tracks like “Hey Daddy” and “Dead Bodies Everywhere” can still give you a little punch in the nostalgia gut—if that’s your thing.

For anyone who wants to relive the early 2000s with a side of newer Korn fare, you can catch them on tour with Gojira and Spiritbox. Check out the rest of their tour dates below, and don’t forget to grab tickets before they vanish into thin air like half of Korn’s original edge.
