Korn
Biography
Metalheads, get your popcorn ready: In 2024, we'll be graced by the pioneers of New Metal, the soundtrack of an entire generation, right here on our field for the first time. We're talking, of course, about KORN. But let's rewind to the mid-90s for a moment: After a few guys from Bakersfield thought that yellow cobs were more than just vegetables, a rock revolution was set in motion. It was a kind of spectacle that perhaps hasn't been seen since the days of the Stones: Kids around the globe went wild, donned their Adidas baggy pants, and embraced the distinctive Korn staccato swamp sound. This sound propelled the band through the next 30 years, earning them Grammy awards, platinum records, navigating valleys of resignation, and ultimately rising from the ashes like a phoenix.
Now celebrating their 30th anniversary, they are embarking on an extensive world tour, bringing them to Wacken with a new album in tow. Whch makes sense, cause where else, cue the dad joke, can you plant these rebellious seeds better, than on our Holy Ground!"
