Korn Prague Concert — Next Date & Ticket Alerts

Korn in Prague— Concert & City Guide

Prague's O2 Arena takes Korn in November 2026, with tickets from EUR137. One of Central Europe's largest indoor venues, it sits in Libeň on the red metro line a short ride from the centre, so you can pair the show with an evening in the Old Town. Czech audiences are famously loud for heavy bands, and the cavernous bowl gives 'Blind' and 'Freak on a Leash' room to detonate. Expect a deep, hit-strewn set and a churning floor.

About Korn

Korn formed in Bakersfield, California in 1993 when bassist Reginald 'Fieldy' Arvizu, guitarists James 'Munky' Shaffer and Brian 'Head' Welch, and drummer David Silveria — all from an earlier Bakersfield band called L.A.P.D. — recruited Jonathan Davis from the local goth-metal group Sexart on the strength of his rehearsal-room vocal range. The band relocated to Huntington Beach almost immediately, signed a development deal with Immortal Records, and recorded their self-titled debut Korn through 1993 and early 1994 with producer Ross Robinson at Indigo Ranch Studios in Malibu. The album was released in October 1994 on Immortal/Epic and arrived to almost no radio support — but it built audience the long way, through the band's relentless touring through 1994 and 1995 on the Danzig and Megadeth and Sick of It All bills, through Davis's bagpiped opening of Shoots and Ladders, through Blind's iconic 'aaarrre you readyyyy?' opening, and through the genre-establishing combination of seven-string downtuned guitar, hip-hop-influenced rhythm phrasing, and Davis's deeply personal trauma-narrative lyrics. The album was certified double platinum by 1996 and has gone on to sell more than ten million copies worldwide, widely regarded as the foundational text of the entire nu-metal genre. Life Is Peachy followed in October 1996, debuting at number three on the Billboard 200 on the strength of A.D.I.D.A.S. and No Place to Hide. The commercial breakthrough was Follow the Leader in August 1998 — a number-one debut anchored by Got the Life and Freak on a Leash, whose Todd McFarlane-animated video won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Rock Video at the 1999 ceremony and won the band's first Grammy for Best Metal Performance the following year. Follow the Leader sold more than ten million copies and effectively defined the late-1990s nu-metal mainstream alongside Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park. Issues followed in November 1999, another number-one debut, with Falling Away from Me and Make Me Bad. Untouchables (June 2002), Take a Look in the Mirror (November 2003), and See You on the Other Side (December 2005) extended the catalogue through Here to Stay, Did My Time, Y'All Want a Single, Twisted Transistor, and Coming Undone. The band lost guitarist Brian Welch in 2005, who left amid a public Christian conversion and a battle with substance abuse, only to return seven years later in 2013. Drummer David Silveria departed in 2006 and was succeeded by Ray Luzier from Army of Anyone in early 2007. The Untitled album followed in 2007, Korn III: Remember Who You Are in 2010, the dubstep crossover The Path of Totality in 2011, The Paradigm Shift in 2013 (marking Welch's return), The Serenity of Suffering in 2016, The Nothing in 2019, and Requiem in February 2022 — the band's fourteenth studio album. Bassist Fieldy announced a hiatus from touring in 2021 with Roberto 'Ra' Diaz of Suicidal Tendencies and others handling bass duties on subsequent tours; his return remains an open question, though he has appeared on later recordings and the band have spoken about him publicly with full warmth. Across the run, Korn have sold more than 40 million records worldwide, won two Grammys, and become one of the few acts to chart number-one albums on the Billboard 200 in three different decades.
