Korn is hitting the road.
The nu metal rockers announced a slew of U.S. tour dates that they’ll play in March and April in support of their forthcoming albumRequiem, which comes out on Feb. 4.
The new dates come in addition to a series of four shows they’ll play on the West Coast with System of a Down in late January and early February. After the U.S. tour wraps, they’ll head to Europe for a series of shows stretching from late May to early July.
Korn has faced several COVID-related setbacks over the last year; in October, drummer Luzier missed a handful of shows following a positive COVID test, making him the third band member to contract the virus in three months.
His positive test came after frontman Davis tested positive in August, prompting the band to reschedule six tour dates and cancel two, and guitarist Shaffer did so in September.
In avideo shared to Instagramon Aug. 29, Korn guitarist Welch detailed the toll that COVID had taken on Davis.
“Jonathan Davis is still struggling with the COVID after-effects,” Welch said. “He’s physically weak and having a mental battle and any type of love, light and energy you can throw at him – prayers, all of it. We have shows coming up, so all of you guys check the dates – whatever show you’re going to, throw him some love and energy man. He needs you more than ever.”
General on-sale tickets will go on sale Friday at 9 a.m. local time here.
