About the tour
Korn, one of the most influential names of the international rock and metal scene, who significantly contributed to defining and promoting the nu metal current will perform at ARTmania Festival, which will take place during 26 – 28 July 2024 in Sibiu, Transylvania.
Korn’s show is part of the European tour dedicated to promoting their latest album, „Requiem”, the band choosing to perform at ARTmania festival after almost ten years since their last concert in Romania.
Formed in 1993 in Bakersfield, California, by three members of the former funk metal band L.A.P.D, Korn (SUA), took the music world by storm since its debut, surprising with a completely new sound for that time.
With Ross Robinson’s help (producer), the band laid the foundations of what would later be known as the “nu-metal” genre with their influential 1994 self-titled debut and its even more successful follow-up “Life is Peachy” (1996). The debut album consolidated Korn’s status as “one of the biggest «game changers» in the musical history of the ‛90s”, which will influence and inspire many artists and pave the way for the emergence of some of the most successful young bands of the moment. But the albums “Follow the Leader” (1998, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, with at least 268,000 copies sold in the first week after its release) and then “Issues” (1999), were the ones that brought Korn the spot light and mainstream commercial success, strengthening their place as music industry legends always situated at the top of preferences around the world, with a successful career which continues to last even almost 30 years after their debut.
This legend of the international metal scene, which has 14 studio albums and an impressive track record of awards, will meet again its Romanian fans at ARTmania Festival, on the 27th of July, during a show which promises to be memorable!
