Korn’s 30th Anniversary Show at BMO Stadium on October 5th was an electrifying celebration
of their groundbreaking career. Marking three decades as nu-metal pioneers, the band delivered
a set that was a perfect mix of nostalgia and pure adrenaline.
As soon as Korn took the stage, the crowd erupted, knowing this was no ordinary concert. From
the very first note, Jonathan Davis and his bandmates launched into a powerful set filled with
iconic tracks like “Freak on a Leash,” “Got the Life,” and “Falling Away from Me.” The energy
was palpable, with fans moshing, headbanging, and singing along to every word.
The show was more than just a performance—it was a testament to Korn’s legacy. Highlights
included Davis’ eerie bagpipe intro to “Shoots and Ladders” and the crushing riffs from guitarists
Brian “Head” Welch and James “Munky” Shaffer, complemented by Fieldy’s thundering
basslines and Ray Luzier’s intense drumming. The crowd was treated to a journey through
Korn’s evolution, with a mix of hits from their 1994 debut to newer tracks from Requiem.
Visually, the stage production was stunning. Dark, atmospheric lighting and haunting projections
made for a truly immersive experience, underscoring the heaviness of Korn’s sound. The
energy never waned, and by the time the final encore rang out, the stadium was still buzzing
with excitement.
Korn’s 30th anniversary show was more than just a concert—it was a reminder of why they
have remained at the forefront of the rock and metal scene for so long. Their ability to connect
with fans and deliver such an intense live experience proves that Korn is not just a band with a
legacy, but one that continues to evolve and dominate.
