KoRn are back on the road and have kicked off their first live show of 2024 with a huge setlist. Check it out below, as well as footage of the gig.
Taking place on Monday night (July 22), the nu-metal icons headed over to Greece, where they took to the stage at the Olympic Complex in Athens as part of Ejekt Festival.
It marked the Bakersfield bandâs first live show of the year, and first performance since they performed at the 2023 edition of Sacramentoâs Aftershock Festival last October.
Kicking off the 16-song set, Jonathan Davis and co. opened with âRotting In Vainâ, taken from their 2016 album âThe Serenity Of Sufferingâ, before breaking out renditions of âHere To Stayâ, âA.D.I.D.A.Sâ, âClownâ and âStart The Healingâ.
From there, fan-favourites like âGot The Lifeâ, âComing Undoneâ, âBlindâ, âFalling Away From Meâ and âShoots And Laddersâ came in thick and fast, before they wrapped up the night with their biggest hit âFreak On A Leashâ.
The show also marked the start of their upcoming tour dates, which will see them take on a bunch more European gigs, before heading over to the UK for a run of headline shows. Check out the Athens setlist below, as well as fan-captured footage.

New music from KoRn is set to arrive this year, according to guitarist Brian âHeadâ Welch. The band last released their record âRequiemâ in February 2022, which NME gave four stars.
âIt would be a push to call this Kornâs first âhappyâ album. More accurately, âRequiemâ has brought something new to a discography that, until now, has been an exploration of human suffering,â it read. âItâs led to the bandâs most nuanced record to date.â
In other KoRn news, back in May, the band teamed up with Adidas Originals for a second clothing collaboration.
