KORN Announce Only Australian Headline Show – 2024

Calling all Adelaide KORN fans – It’s On! Today, the Gobal metal icons announce a special one-off Good Things Festival 2024 headline sideshow for Adelaide, taking place on Wednesday 4 December at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre Arena.

For decades, KORN have wielded a formidable reputation, spanning their early days spearheading the heavy music revolution of the mid 1990s through to their more recent works. In command of two GRAMMY® Award wins, multi-platinum album certifications, and over 40 million records sold worldwide, KORN have also remained an enduring fan favourite down under with three #1 albums in Australia under their belts, including their most recent 2022 full length Requiem.

Roaring into view in 1994 via their debut self-titled album, KORN have remained true leaders in their field, tirelessly seeking outside the box while sharpening their trademark concoction of downtuned guitars, eerie production, savage grooves, and gripping lyricism. Few who were there from day one will ever forget the likes of singles Blind and Daddy, or immortalised tracks Freak On a Leash and Got the Life that soundtracked the late 90s. So great was the impact of KORN’s hybrid take on heavy music at the time, their influence sparked Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Disturbed and many more, all following the undisputed leaders hailing from Bakersfield in California.

Over the years, KORN have also cultivated a ravenous following for their live shows, with their unwavering sonic vision incorporating everything from dubstep and hip-hop to the bagpipe sections of frontman Jonathan Davis. KORN balance brutality with melodic moments and mosh-pit-ready mayhem; like a well-oiled hurricane extremely well versed in how to put on a spectacle for the ages time and time again.

As the coveted headliners for Good Things Festival 2024, the KORN will off the leash and their headline show in Adelaide is one absolutely not to be missed!
