Korn Live in Hannover

Nu metal legends Korn are returning to Germany as part of their European tour and will perform their greatest hits on November 13 at the ZAG Arena in Hannover.

The four male members of the band Korn. — KoЯn will embark on their biggest German tour to date in 2026: KoЯn

Pioneers of Nu Metal

Ever since the American band from Bakersfield, California, was founded in 1993 by Brian Welch (guitar) and Reginald Arvizu (bass), Korn (usually spelled KoЯn) has played a major role in shaping the music scene. With their debut album “KoЯn,” released in 1994, they caused quite a stir. They used seven-string, extremely low-tuned guitars, ventured into bizarre vocal experiments, wrote dark and cynical lyrics, and combined metal with hip-hop, alternative rock, and funk, thereby creating a completely new sound. The pioneers of nu metal were born.

To date, Korn has sold over 40 million albums, won two Grammys, completed numerous world tours, and broken records that no one is likely to dispute. Although they have consistently pushed the boundaries of rock, alternative, and metal music, they have always remained a mainstay of the music scene and, with hits like “Freak on a Leash,” “Falling Away from Me,” “Did My Time,” and “Word Up!,” have influenced several generations of artists and fans around the world. With their 2022 album “Requiem,” they proved that even after 30 years, they can still land chart hits.

Are you ready, Hannover?

Without Korn, the music world today would undoubtedly be a different place. This fall, the nu-metal icons are returning to Germany for six arena concerts as part of their 2026 Euro Tour—along with the band “Architects” and the rotating opening acts “Youth Code” and “Pixel Grip.” In Hannover, Korn will perform on November 13, 2026, bringing their greatest hits live to the stage of the ZAG Arena, where the cult classic “Blind”—with its famous exclamation “Are you ready?!”—will likely be a staple of the concert.
