Korn Sold Out a 30th Anniversary Concert, and Now They’re Hitting the Road

Korn will tour this summer around the 30th anniversary of their self-titled debut album.

The band isn’t specifically billing the trek as a 30th-anniversary tour since that’s just the one show, but it’s safe to assume they’ll acknowledge the milestone as they wind their way around North America. Incidentally, Korn don’t have a date scheduled on the actual 30th anniversary of their self-titled debut album, which ripped heavy music wide open in 1994 with its hip-hop beats, shoulder-breaking seven-string guitar riffs, and frontman Jonathan Davis’ throaty neuroses. The band acknowledged the anniversary of the album a decade ago in an in-depth oral history of Korn for Rolling Stone, recounting how they came up with the revolutionary subgenre nu-metal — paving the way for Limp Bizkit, System of a Down, and Mudvayne, among others.
