Get ready for a face-melting mashup of metal mayhem and classical grandeur! Last week, KoRn's frontman Jonathan Davis joined forces with Japanese rock legend Yoshiki on stage at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. The result was an unforgettable orchestral rendition of KoRn's anthemic hit 'Freak On A Leash' that left fans breathless.
The special performance was part of Yoshiki's 'Yoshiki Classical' concert series, which sees him performing with a full orchestra to give a classical spin to well-known songs. For this LA show, Davis's powerful vocals took on a more subdued and melancholic tone than the original recording, gradually building in intensity throughout. The real magic happened when Yoshiki switched from piano to drum kit, perfectly complementing the orchestral backing.
This isn't Yoshiki's first rodeo – he's been making waves with his high-profile collaborations and compositions for years! In 2024, he was chosen to create the official theme song for Hello Kitty's 50th anniversary, showcasing his versatility and appeal across genres. For KoRn fans in the UK, this news comes hot on the heels of the band's exciting new music – their first release in four years, 'Reward The Scars,' created for the video game Diablo IV: Lord Of Hatred.
And if that wasn't enough, KoRn has announced a massive headline tour across the UK and Europe for later this year. This marks their first string of shows on British shores in over a decade, following their triumphant headlining slot at Download Festival last year.

With over 40 new songs in the pipeline and a reputation for delivering electrifying live performances, KoRn's return to UK soil is one not to be missed. The countdown begins... will you be there to witness it?
