Evanescence’s Amy Lee joins Korn onstage to perform Freak On A Leash in LA
Korn wrapped up their BMO Stadium mega-show on October 5 by inviting out Evanescence’s Amy Lee to help perform Freak On A Leash…
Here’s what Spiritbox, Gojira and Korn all played on the opening night of the nu-metal kings’ 25-date North American tour…
Last night (September 12), Korn launched their full North American headline tour with Gojira and Spiritbox.
This truly glorious heavy line-up took to the stage at MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa, Florida to begin their epic 25-date run together, which goes on until October 27.
Fresh from releasing new single Soft Spine last week, Spiritbox opened the show with a six-song set that included the live debut of their latest rager, as well as the likes of Cellar Door, Circle With Me and Holy Roller.
See exactly what Spiritbox played:
1. Cellar Door
2. Jaded
3. Angel Eyes
4. Soft Spine (live debut)
5. Circle With Me
6. Holy Roller
Then, following their Olympics spectacular over the summer, Gojira provided main support to Korn with a killer 11-song setlist, opening with L’enfant Sauvage before tearing through the likes of Toxic Garbage Island, Stranded and Flying Whales. The French heroes also nodded to July’s opening ceremony with a snippet of Mea Culpa (Ah! Ça ira!) before Silvera, and then finished up with Amazonia.

1. L’enfant Sauvage
2. Toxic Garbage Island
3. Backbone

9. Another World
10. Silvera (preceded by a snippet of Mea culpa (Ah! Ça ira!))

Having been playing live a whole bunch this year, Korn seemingly decided to mix things up for these North American shows, which is pretty cool. The Bakersfield titans opened with Here To Stay, but across 18 songs they threw in Dead Bodies Everywhere for the first time in public since 2019, Issues’ Hey Daddy for the first time in a whopping 25 years, and Oildale (Leave Me Alone) for the first time since 2012. All of which were in amongst the usual bangers like A.D.I.D.A.S., Blind, Shoots And Ladders, Falling Away From Me and Freak On A Leash.
