Nu-metal pioneers Korn headline their UK tour at the Utilita Arena, with Architects and Youth Code as special guests.
Korn are playing Utilita Arena on Friday 30 October, one of five UK dates on their 2026 tour. They're billed as nu-metal pioneers, and they're bringing that sound to Newcastle as part of the run. It's a head-banging night, and they aren't playing alone: Architects and Youth Code are on the bill as special guests.
Korn have been around since the early nineties, and they're still touring the sound they helped build. The nu-metal tag comes from the way they blend heavy riffs with a rhythmic, almost hip-hop sensibility, and they've kept that core going across their records. Architects bring their own brand of modern metal to the bill, and Youth Code add an industrial edge to the mix, so the night covers a fair bit of ground before Korn take the stage.
