This album is our way of channeling those experiences into something that resonates with our fans.”
To support the album, Korn will embark on a major U.S. tour, kicking off on April 1, 2025, in San Diego. The tour will visit major cities across the country, including Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago, wrapping up in late May. Fans can expect a high-energy setlist that will feature both new tracks and classic hits from the band’s extensive catalog.
In addition to their tour, Korn has announced several special guest appearances, including rising stars in the metal and rock scene. These collaborations aim to create an unforgettable experience for fans, showcasing a mix of established talent and new voices in the genre.
Pre-orders for “Reckoning” are now available through the band’s official website, with exclusive merchandise options, including vinyl editions and signed memorabilia.
