KoRn At The Halifax Piece Hall with support from Loathe 9-8-2024

It’s Friday night at TK Maxx Presents Live at The Halifax Piece Hall and Nu-Metal California Band Korn is set to perform with support from English Heavy Metal Band Loathe. It’s a highly anticipated show having just played at the Open Air Scarborough show the evening before it’s set to be a fantastic night for Korn with the string of shows being a part of Korn’s 30th anniversary of their self-titled album. 

Loathe

Loathe comes out in force getting the crowd in high spirits for the evening ahead. We are treated to an incredible set. Loathe gets the crowd up and moving on this sunny evening, With lead singer Kadeem France bouncing and moving across the stage with an amazing set of vocals. Throughout the set, loathe fans sing back every word, crowd surf and follow with a sea of waving hands during songs in time with the band. A strong and incredible opener!

Korn

The headline act that the crowd has been waiting for. The screen is down covering the stage but the famous H.R. Giger microphone Jonathan Davis uses is brought out with the crowd chanting “Take it off” in anticipation for the cover to be removed and for the show to start!

Korn enters the stage under the cover of the screen under the title track “4 U” followed on with their first song of the evening their 2016 ‘Rotting In Vain’ from the album The Serenity Of Suffering kicking the crowd off into a bouncing heavy atmosphere with the crowd screaming every word back. 

With a moving half screen covering half the front stage throughout songs, the crowd burst into movement head banging and crowd surfing throughout the entire set. 

Midway through Korn’s set we are treated to a drum solo leading into a heavy moshpit and dreadlocks flying around. Korns fans have come out in full force this Friday night screaming every word back. The band’s “Coming un-done” is played with a snippet of Queen’s “We Will Rock You.”

The crowd answers every command back, getting involved with every moment and answering every command with force. The band thanks their fans for 30 amazing years after the “Yorkshire” chant is shouted and Jonathan Davis thinking he heard “Lobster” chanted instead leads the crowd into chanting “fuck that” with middle fingers in the air. 

Korn’s fans have been through a fantastic set before the bagpipes are brought out leading into “Shoots And Ladders” with a snippet of Metallica’s “One” for the encore and finishing their set on a high with “Freak On a Leash” It has truly been an incredible evening.
